Ok........... lets grade this Roosevelt dime

coinsarefun

The camera is picking up artifacts for some reason. The obverse and reverse is virtually mark free and looks like split bands to me.

What say you?



Edited to add the reverse has a bunch of die lines, not scratches

I like the toning. Looks like a 66FB

i dunno, thats a tough one, Rev looks mushy...........

I like the toning. From all the little ticks I'll say 63-64 and the bands look full from the pics, but hard to tell for sure.

I love that toning, almost like woodgrain in appearance.

I'd say 64 FB.

63 close to FT

MS-65 FB

I doubt it would go FT ATS though.

I'd give it a bean or whatever as well.

Well, I got lucky last year, submitted a different year and got a MS67fb and I know its hard to believe from these cruddy pic's but I think
it has a very good chance at a MS67fb too.

I will keep you guy's posted.

MS65.

Though no "big" obverse marks, too many small marks. Hair looks good, ear is ok (few marks) but some small marks on cheek do detract. Obverse MS65+ or maybe MS66. Unfortunately, reverse has a fair amount of chatter on the torch body and I'd grade the reverse at MS64/65 although, I believe PCGS more heavily weights the obverse focal points so the reverse reduces the grade by net 1 point....so net MS65 for the coin. While its close to FB at PCGS, there's some mushiness on the left side that could be an issue. As NGC also grades the torch verticals, the hits do seem to break the vertical lines and could be cause (but seemingly not always) for NGC to not give an FT designation, irrespective of the mushiness of the bottom bands; net no FB/FT.

However, I really like the obverse toning and its a premium appearing coin.

based on the roosie's pcgs has graded for me lately, i would say if the obverse has very good mint luster along with the nice toning it will grade ms65fb. if the obverse mint luster is a little weak it will grade ms64fb. still a nice looking coin !
