Opinions on this bust dime?

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

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.

I'm in this crowd.

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

DIMEMAN

Yep, cleaned......not natural toning in my opinion.

AnkurJ

Cleaned and retoned. The scratches don't help

As others have said ... cleaned.

CoinBuyer12

One more.

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?

BustCuds

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

CoinBuyer12

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

DIMEMAN

I would pass on both as well.

Something that worn shouldn't look shiny. No dice.
