What do you guys think of my new acquisition?
One Dime from 1856 Large Date.
I'm from Portugal, and I'm starting my collection of US coins.

Looks nice from the pic. Welcome to the forum and U.S. Coins.

NumismaticEmpire

Thank you so much.
Before doing my first topic I read this forum a lot. I learned a lot in here.

I would move it away from any staples as they can scratch the coin. It is also good to take picture of the coin out of any plastic.

Yeah, I know, buddy.
I still do not have the coin in my hands, I bought it from a colleague who brought it from Spain.
This week when I have it in my hands, I'll take it out of the bin with stamps and put it on one whit "glue" not stamps.

Looks pretty shiny/sanitized from those photos. I think it's been cleaned along the way (see upper reverse field).

40-45. Nice cleaned coin for type album. Good luck.

Just to get an idea if i get well on this coin ..
What would be the value of this coin?

roadrunner

I'd think $30-$100 depending on if/how much it is cleaned....and how much/if any luster remains.

I agree with DM.

I find that many countries around the world, including several in Europe, clean their coins and don't find it to be a problem.....I agree that it's been cleaned which we think is a no no for US coins.

WELCOME!
