    I'm assuming it's an expensive coin. I would want to be able to see the CC if I were buying. ( I did enlarge the pic)

    This! Save up and wait for a better example where you can easily see the CC. PCGS Price Guide says $1,100 on that one.

    The CC on this coin is actually pretty plainly evident. Both letters of the mintmark are readily apparent. However, they are not centered under the ribbon as many expect to see a mintmark, but are slightly off-center do to having two letters.

    The "CC" is plain on coin.....just does not show on pic good (but is visible).

    Funny, as I too always think of this when I see a well worn Old West coin!

    The photo on the dealers web site looks much better. It's nice for a G6

    Thanks.....I think it will be nice for the grade also.

    I agree with the group that would hold off until you can find one with a more visible CC, although I do note that the price of the puppy (according to PCGS Price Guide) goes from $1,100 in G6 to $2,100 in VG8.

    I like it for the grade.
    I see the mm and imagine that's about as good as it gets at that grade.
    It sure is quite pricey. Even more so for the next grade.
    Congrats.

    Way outta my league, but if you like it, that is what matters! You could always use it as barter material IF a better one shows up.

    Love it. On the max Trueview the CC is very clear as well! I always felt coins with a lot of history are special.

    If there was a "Love" button between the "Like" and "LOL" I'd click on that. <3

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    After looking this dime up on coinfacts, I am sure with an estimate survival of 200 they dont come up for sale often!

    I agree with oih82w8, buy it why you can and trade up later if something better presents itself. Saw your registry set, not many to go, get it while the gettins good! Congrats on the find. B)

    I like the overall look of this G06 better.

    I agree on the G6!

    So far I haven't seen a dime of yours I haven't liked. This one here is no exception. You da DIMEMAN alright. Nice score.
