    Quite a nice Mint Set coin . . . .

    Perfect Mint Set colors . . . the key 'green' making an appearance . . .

    I don't see an offensive fingerprint. 8 for me.

    Not a Roosevlt dime fan but I find this one quite attractive. I also vote 8.

    It's got a sort of monochromatic red/pink/orangish thing going on.



    I find it appealing.



    I don't see the print, either.

    Eye appeal? tarnished obverse with fingerprint - yeech!

    Its better than one with black, spots but not PQ. But does not hold candle to a really Gem BU non toned specimen as pristine as the day it left the mint.

    I have some really nice BU out of my roll would sell at $5 if spreading them out inside my case at the show. Super Deal.

    With its $85 price tag for MS67 (CW) I can buy at least 2 of 2016 PCGS MS70 Silver 1 OZ Libertads. I will take the bullion coins instead.

    Fairly nice as a type example (7) , and a little better as a date/mm coin (7.5). Many come alot darker

    7.5, round up to 8.



    Obverse fingerprint noted, but it's not a dealbreaker, as far as I'm concerned.



    Roosies aren't really my cuppa tea, but this is an attractive one.

    I voted 7 but could see a Roosie fan going 8 on it. It looks good.

    I'm at 7. I love the orange toning when I see it and can't complain about the cameo look either.

    I gave it an 8. Pretty coin.
  • roadrunnerroadrunner Posts: 28,313 ✭✭✭✭✭
    8



    Could be a fingerprint. That's also part of the reason it has nice toning. The reverse bands are quite flat. Can't go higher than 8 with those limitations. A nice looking coin.

    That tarnish reminds me more of rust... I agree with Cougar.... rated it 1 Cheers, RickO

    It's a nice enough coin but the OBV fingerprint
    was enough to knock it down to a 7 ( IMHO ).

    6.

    I like it, but in real life, they are small, so I think some of the oomph would be missing with that toning (needs more green for me).



    To each their own, though, particularly with toning, so if it is for your collection, and you like it, and the price was right, then you have a winner image

    It is a very nice double Mint set piece. To all those fixated on the fingerprint, how do you think the smaller coins got into the original holders?

    While there are many of these with better color, this is a very attractive Roosie with clean surfaces. I have no problem with the 67 grade.
  • BillJonesBillJones Posts: 34,793 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I only gave it a 5. I don't care for the toning on the obverse. I've seen much nicer examples.
