My first gtg post.
Bought this for my new registry set, with intention of regrade. It's in a non-host holder.
So guess its grade now, cause its cracked out tomorrow and headed to newport beach this week. I'll post its current grade tomorrow night and the pcgs when its done.

    Too hard to tell from the images, but from what I see I would guess 65

    64 to me, could it be the new condition census ddo?
    I can't get the picture to enlarge for some reason.....

    It looks to be a DDO..

    When I bought it off ebay, the pictures were bad. I had a very outside chance at a ms ddo, but no, sadly it is not a ddo. But in hand it is a beauty. I took lots of pictures of it, and just can't get all of its tonedness (new word-tonedness) to come out right in a picture. It should cross over nicely.

    It's current holder probably says 65. I will guess it grades 63-64 at PCGS. This is all based on pics.

    I'll go with DIMEMAN with his assessment. It's really tough to say with those image. More light I think might help. I can't judge the luster.

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

    Looks like a 64 to me.

    64 no bands, lacks eye appeal, probably won't CAC

    Thanks to you all with the 64s and 5s! wish me luck!
    Sorry my pictures weren't the best.
    I think it'll cross at 64fb, but can always hope for the 65.
    So in about a month we'll see.
    I post with tru view.

    Unless the photos are misleading, this coin doesn't come close to having split bands. Value at MS63 is roughly $80. At MS64, it's $150. With postage, submission fees, and grading fees, you appear to have much more downside potential than upside potential here.

    Changed the lighting and angle of my phone a bit. Really tough to get the colors in this dime to show in the pics.
    Its definitely fb. These pics are better, but it still looks way better in hand, its not as darkly toned as these look.

    Better pics as far as seeing the detail, that cheek looks kind of rough which might explain the 63 grade

    OK I see now definitely full bands

    I see the bands now but the first photo shows no full bands.
    This is a classic reason why you can't grade from a photo?

    I think it stays at 63 FB like the ANACS holder says. Too many hits on the reverse in my opinion to make it go higher.

    What do I know though?

    Interesting how differently the bands looked from one picture to the next!

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes, I see the FB now.... amazing the difference .... certainly shows how pictures can be incredibly misleading.... both ways, no doubt. Good luck... Cheers, RickO

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,285 ✭✭✭✭✭

    FWIW, I'd leave it in that old ANACS

    It's on its way home in its new ms64fb pcgs slab.
    Thanks for all the replies and opinions :)
    I did like it in the old anacs slab, but registry and upgrade crossover-worth it.

    Nice coin and I like the look, what is going on with the reverse rim next to "UNITED"?

  • Sandman70gtSandman70gt Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I don't know much in the ways of the errors, but looks struck that way, and some doubling in the D in "United.

    Thanks for the pats on the back! And a pat on the back from dimeman, C'mon!
    I've only been here for about 9 months, and it feels like I know alot of you.
    I have learned more reading posts, in my time on here than probably the first 20 years of collecting.
    So thanks to all, and Happy New Year!
