My first coin of 2016 finally arrived.



I like it but I'd love to hear other opinions.

What do you think PCGS graded her?

    I'll guess MS-61, looks to have interesting texture/surfaces.

    I really like seated liberty no stars coinage, has a nice clean look. Your coin is a good example.image

    I tried to remove the odd lines on the obverse.

    They seem to be in the plastic.

    53 - and very nice!
  • lkeigwinlkeigwin Posts: 16,893 ✭✭✭✭✭
    40, 50, 53, 58, 61...pretty wide guesses. Looks AU to me.



    Regardless, it's a beauty!

    I'll pile on with the compliments.

    All well deserved.

    The obverse is right there as a favorite.



    Looks like it could be one of those AU 62's.



    Congrats!

    I like the look of the coin, but wouldn't/couldn't venture a guess unless I have seen it in hand.
  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,845 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'd guess AU55, but regardless of the number, it has a nice look. How much luster does it have in hand? The photos make it look pretty flat.
  • JustacommemanJustacommeman Posts: 22,852 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Congrats!



    Beautiful coin!

    Flatwoods, Congrats on starting off the year by picking up a beautiful No Stars Seated Liberty Dime! image



    I'll guess the grade at AU-53, and wouldn't be surprised if she graded AU-55.

    AU with a +, or minus '58'. Interesting toning pattern. Like it was wrapped in swaddling clothes.

    I'm inspired , nice Coin. Gotta make my first purchase a Seated Liberty , hopefully a Quarter ... or a Half !

    Pretty mark-free for a 62. I'll go with 58.

    I will take a stab and say AU-55 based on the photos.



    For those that are saying XF-40, I'll take all your coins that look like this at XF-40 prices.

    I agree. I'll take any coins graded XF-40 that look like this!

    Especially for a VF-XF price.

    I would have liked it a lot as a 50 but I love it at the grade PCGS gave it.



    Thanks for the opinions.

  • Desert MoonDesert Moon Posts: 5,963 ✭✭✭✭✭
    So I overgraded at 50(!). Amazing coin for 40, send that in to CAC. Question, how is the luster, do you get the rotating luster under the light? If so, maybe we are talking gold bean? In either case total stunner at 40 good catch.

    It has AU luster but subdued by the toning.

    No real cartwheel effect.

    I have several of these in XF and I think they are all strong for the grade but

    this one is the strongest.
  • TwoSides2aCoinTwoSides2aCoin Posts: 44,475 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The coin looks much better than XF 40, from my chair.
  • MFHMFH Posts: 11,720 ✭✭✭✭

    Sign me up in the AU 53 camp.

    Nice coin.

    My first thought when I looked at the images was EF-45+, based on the flatness on Liberty's breasts and leg. The more I looked at it, the more

    I wanted to grade it AU-50 or AU-53, but the images make it look like it has no luster.



    EF-40 seems pretty tough. Are there problems hidden beneath the toning, or did the graders just not like tiny coins that day?
  • CharlotteDudeCharlotteDude Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Gorgeous No-Stars NOrleans dime... I like it as an AU-53.

  • roadrunnerroadrunner Posts: 28,313 ✭✭✭✭✭
    In just seeing the thread I knew it was a 38-0 just on the obverse photo. An AU grade never entered my mind due to heavy rub and lack of the more than 5-20% luster in the obv fields. I was surprised of the range of to MS! At least no one called it a VF30. In 1988 I submitted the first raw 1838-0 dime to get the MS65 grade (none higher). Fwiw, that took 3 submissions to get it done going NGC MS64, PCGS MS63, NGC MS65. I suspect that coin would make it into a PCGS MS65 holder today.



    My choices were XF40 or 45. It has enough luster to be a 45 imo. PCGS isn't so forgiving on coins with a tad of softness in the strike like the 38-0 often shows. It's worth 45 money regardless of the assigned 40 grade. Very wholesome and apparently fully original coin for this date. The same obv highpoint wear is reflected on the rim from 5-11:00. The reverse by itself could be considered AU50 as it has more luster, being protected by the busy reverse design. Those wide open obv fields are a sitting duck for luster removal, making this type one of the easiest seated coins to grade. Not even stars to help protect the peripheral luster. I don't think you'd get a gold sticker on this one. This is a date that in my mind is a tad overrated. It retains strong demand because it's the only no stars with a mint mark.

    I'm learning to be a conservative grader.image

    Definitely worth more than 40 money though.

    roadrunner - I am in your fan club due to your knowledgeable posts and positive orientation. Thank you!



    I was going to guess low AU thinking that the pics would hide luster that I was guessing was there. Very nice coin and I'd love to own it!
