I never really had good luck submitting dimes in the past. What do you think?

    Maybe the one on the right? the reverse looks pretty nice.

    Not sure I would pay the fees to get them graded though, you would probably end up loosing money unless they grade ms67.

    I suspect the 47 on the right has better color then appears from the image. Looks fairly clean (again, based on the image) and may have a shot at MS67 with either service. Luster looks pretty good. If the color is brighter then the image I'd submit to NGC. The left one appears to have subdued color and luster. Don't think I'd spend the grading fees on that one. I say it's MS66 in PCGS/NGC.

    darktone,

    If you want them graded then by all means submit them. If nothing else the learning experience on your grading abilities will be well worth the money spent. Good luck either way. Don't be sitting around in 10 years and think to yourself, "Boy I wish I had sent those 2 dimes in for grading."

    Can't really say from those pix.

    The second coin looks like may be a luster scrape or very shallow scratch running roughly vertical from the cheekbone to the jawbone?

  • Would look great in a capital plastic holder, not sure if it would be worth the fees to get slabbed.

    Thanks everyone. I am just trying to get 8 coins together for my free grading( not really free) for renewing membership . The first six coins were easy but I have really not been into coins lately so I don't have much sitting around that I want to slab .
