    Probably belongs right in the Whitman where it sits.

    As far as prints go, that one is not too bad, but it's still a print, which makes it a little hard to love... like yes... love... uh probably not.

    OK for an album set.

    Doesn't look FB/FT reverse, looks decently clean technically, probably better eye-appeal in person than it looks in the scan which looks low res.

    I'm guessing that coin looks much better in hand.
    Many happy BST transactions

    I am in 100% agreement with every comment posted so far. It probably belongs in a raw album set, right where it is, and the fingerprint is a minor detraction but not horrible, making it an average coin overall. It's not bad looking and probably does look better in person.

    I am neither excited nor totally disgusted with it.

    Eh. It's OK.

    It's a decent enough coin for where it is. If this is a leading question as to whether it should be slabbed, I would say it's not worth it.

    It's a silver 1963 Dime. In 1963 you could have bought a coffee with it in a restraurant.
    Today, you can sell it for bullion, and get enough money to buy a cup of coffee to go, in a convenience store.
    You ain't lost anything by keeping it.
    Even as ugly as it is.
