i wonder why pcgs didn't call out the filed rims

<< <i>1796 MS-64 Dime Been in their inventory for a while. I wonder why.
My theory is that there are only 3 people out there rich enough to collect MS64 draped bust dimes, and all three of them already have one. This is a funny (and admittedly exaggerated) thought, but at this rarified level of the coin market, things do become "quantized." In other words, the number of collectors demanding such an expensive item is so small that the dealer had better know who the buyer is going to be before even acquiring the coin.
I had not seen those marks major turn off!!!

I am in the middle class not the high middle or the high class......
Yes I am but I never said I was a millionaire nor that money was not a object...I invested in the 1921 50 cent from Canada never have I paid that much for a coin before and nor shale I probably in the future. This coin was a 50/50 purchase with my brother. I could not afford the full price my self....not now and not in the future either. It does not mean because you have one huge coin that you have more. Can't say the same for my brother he will buy some nice stuff in the U.S but hey he makes 3 times my salary and I have a good career. But his house is paid for....not mine I like 99% of people have a 30 year mortgage with 27 years left....if one day I get a good price for my 1921 then maybe I can pay off my place faster...then enjoy the extra money per month on coins and a nice cottage to just relax.

That MS-65 is much nicer love full blast silver coins much more than those with heavy toning or any toning for that matter.
The coin is delightful and the adjustment marks are a.........
plus

<< <i>I dunno. 50K is a lot of money to many of us but even in this forum there are members who have no problem buying a 50K coin if they really like it. >>
And I've been trying to get any of those members to adopt me anytime soon!
some folks on this forum are quite cash flush and money seems to be a non issue.
No worries....you could not have known!! I wish I had funds like that but I just collect semi-key coins in grades I can afford and find nice.
sold my collection approx 5 years ago to open a B & M , thanks to the PM / scrap gold market, i have been able to pick up some great key date coins over the past year or so. I am not cash flush, but have done well enough to buy some great pieces when they come available.

<< <i>The file marks are a major negative ... especially for anyone with enough money to consider buying a coin in this price range. In addition, no sticker. >>
At least the mint made those file marks. They also made the luster on that coin which now appears to be missing quite a bit in the unprotected obv fields. But we all know
that early bust coinage is graded to a different standard.
<< <i>The adjustment marks are no big deal.This dime just happens to have a characteristic that makes it an unquestionable representative of early American coinage.
The coin is delightful and the adjustment marks are a.........

<< <i>I can't believe there are 13 finer according to that listing. Wow >>
I would wager many in that count is made up of regrades.
<< <i>nah. Adjustment marks are never a plus >>
Of course a coin without adjustment marks is preferable, but if an early American coin has them I just consider it a part of it's contemporary history. Depending on it's placement and consequence it usually bothers me little. Instead of marks I see history. But I can only speak for myself
I guess I'm in the minority, but so long as adjustment marks are not in a bad place (like across the portrait or on the eagle) or are too deep and obvious, I don't have a huge problem with them. They were a part of the early minting process.
I'd say the same thing about minor copper spots on gold coins. Yet there are collectors who won't touch a gold coin that one or a couple of copper spots even if they are super light.
I really like this coin, but I'm done with upgrading my type set for the most part.

<< <i>BillJones:

The experts also think that the variety (JR-1) with the die cud to the left of the date is the first dime pair for the dime. This is one of the most common 1796 die varieties.
Here is a 1796 half dime with the same color for those who are concerned about the color. Perhaps the same coin doctor worked on both.
Steely blue toning with some green or brown intermingled is often natural toning on old silver coins. It just happens to be the same color mixes that you see on AT coins too.
This coin doesn't seem to look any different than fully original ones. I'd vote NT.
