What would you grade this?

I was coin roll hunting this morning when I came across this little guy. I was going to put him in the pile of silver dimes I find, where the dimes are usually in F-VF condition. However, I looked closer and noticed that a great deal of the coin's details are there- Roosevelt's dimples, his hair lines, the torch's flame lines, etc.


Is it worth setting aside? What would you grade this coin?

    This is only my opinion, but I do not think that would be worth sending in for grading....Cheers, RickO

    EF-AUish. Not worth more than melt but an extremely cool roll find. Head and shoulders better than most of the silver I've ever seen in rolls.

    Haha, probably not. It just looked a lot better than my other silver dimes I've found, and had a lot of details, with little to no scratches. Just thought I'd get some input from what other people think.

    It's worth the price of silver or around $2.00-$2.30. Would fit nicely in an XF/AU set though. BU rolls sell for about the same price.
    I'd rather have a choice BU. I'd grade this coin AU.

    XF-AU, but strictly a melt bucket coin.

    Sorry, pardon my ignorance- still new to this- what does "FT" stand for?
