    Pretty toning. Assuming that it's not a problem coin, I'd give it a VG-10 to F-12. image

    VG to Fine sharpness, but it has been cleaned. I see a potential "no grade. The color might be from the stuff that was used to clean it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Thanks for the opinions. I wondered why this was toned and low grade. I will pass.

    Cleaned and retoned. The scratches don't help image

    As others have said ... cleaned.

    For one you can't tell how thick that black is around the outer devices: likely environmental damage
    The scratch in front of the nose looks pretty bad
    All of the brightness in the fields on the obverse look like possible hairlines from an improper cleaning.

    I would pass on it as well. What exactly are you trying to do, find some nice low grade bust dimes on Ebay?

    Pass on both...one cleaned and un-natural toning and second has a few too many marks and scratches from a possible cleaning image

    No. Just a friend of mine that has some raw coins.

    Something that worn shouldn't look shiny. No dice.
    Let's try not to get upset.
