Raw 1837 capped bust dime for the Dansco

I bought this at a recent show, it was part of a box of a busted up 7070 collection. I have most of my 7070 filled already, but this dime was a nice upgrade over the damaged 1835 I had in there already. I don't collect this series, but I do think that the die crack on the obverse is pretty cool! Looks like at least a 40 or 45 to me on the grade and seems original too.

    Very well struck and easily looks 45. Nice.

    I really like it! Looks like it was never cleaned since it was minted. Since it's a little dark for some peoples' tastes, it would probably grade 45, maybe 50. With lighter grey surfaces, it could go AU53 or better based on detail.

    Great dime, awesome strike and as original as they get, perfect coin for an album or would surely grade as well, very nice pickup

    Based on my 1837 dime, this looks more like an AU-50 to me than an XF-45. Very nice original looking coin!

    Very nice JR4. I would say XF45 but no problem with 50 either.

    A great original coin! I would guess XF45 as well. Makes me want to go and upgrade the coin I currently have in that slot (a VF or thereabouts, and not nearly as original looking).

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
