I listed a 1862 Dime at .99 that recently hammered at Stacks for $1700 and a 1872 CC Dime with issues but cheap!

Edit: Both end in a few hours

    edit due to any possible "hype"

    Personally I see no reason to comment on other people coins but some people can't help themselves.

    The soft strike will keep this from ever realizing 66, IMHO. Nice dime though.

    You the John Madden of the BST board or something?

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one who got their coins slammed by gecko. Apparently he knows the Seated Dime series better than "seateddime". I'm sure that's what his handle was going to be when he signed up, but since it was already taken, he went with gecko.

    Settle down gentlemen. I do NOT know more about the series than the OP, im certain of that. But im also fairly certain that to attain a grade of 66, the coin needs to be well struck. And this coin is weakly struck, no questions asked. Yes the fields are very clean, but in addition to the soft strike, there is a very annoying toning spot beneath lady liberty's chin. This further reduces eye appeal, which further reduces any shot at 66. There is a reason its currently slabbed as a 64, not enough head detail. For the OP to hype this coin as a "lock 65, and eventual 66" is irresponsible at best. To further hype this coin as a previously hammered $1700 piece is equally in bad form. Its obvious to me that the OP is buried in this coin, and is desperate to unload his mistake onto someone else using less than ethical advertising. That is why I posted what I posted. Similar to your "bagged to hell" $10 lib Paul. $750 for that monstrosity, come on! We both know that either of us could go out to local B&M's today and find a raw AU58 that has 10 times the eye appeal as your coin for about $450! I have ZERO problem calling a spade a spade, and a dog a dog. You guys jump all over similar ebay auctions for similar reasons. Maybe its time to equally critique the coins offered for sale here as well.

    After a conversation with an expert in the Seated Dime field I have edited my comments but the coin hammered at $1700 and this is a fact not an opinion.

    << <i>the bid is a bit higher.

    This coin was sent once to NGC - they 64'd it which is a joke! This coin should have come back a 66. I can stomach the grading game so I won't do it. The coin should be a 65 lock easy. Sold for MS66 money raw at Stacks.

    Someone should resubmit this and sooner or later it will grade MS66. >>



    I have a question. Based on the Auction Description, I can't tell whether the coin is still in the NGC MS64 Holder.

    i see the leading autority of seated dimes is bidding on that, maybe i should pay closer attention to it. what is the problem with hyping an auction ? did that become illegal recently ? not everyone collects MS 1958 jefferson nickels
