    It's a Mercury Dime...so I can't call it ugly. Just the prettiest toning I have seen. B)

    I normally like the pre-1934 mercury dimes ... but not that one. Eye-appeal is poor.

    What is your strategy? Dip? MS70? Acetone?

    Nice coin under all that poo poo.

    I would leave that example for someone else. Tarnish has eaten through the luster layer and in my book, that's a damaged coin.

    It's not horribly ugly, but not nice-looking either.

    It's not bad in my opinion. I'll bet it's high grade too.

    If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.

    Very ugly tarnish... not sure how badly the surface of the coin has been affected... dipping could make it worse.
    OTOH... it could reveal a lustrous beauty..... Decisions, decisions.... Send it to me, I am good at decisions. ;) Cheers, RickO

    Everything Ricko stated is factual and acurate. Even so. . . why is it I kind of like it?

    What grade is it now? Any thoughts on selling it?

  • pmacpmac Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭

    Just sent it to Ricko so that he can take care of it. ;)
