That is a nice coin even if you are not going to send it in I would put it in a 2x2 and keep it from getting any more bangs. I would try it but I like to go to Vegas as well you never know.

Not worth the grading fees, but better than scrap.
Looks nearly if not FB...not tough for this date, but a plus when you are selling.6 -

I think it is near 65, shot 66 with reeding marks on cheek and medium strike - not sure about bands
The reverse has what could be PVC between BU on torch, I would acetone it before long.

The mark on the cheek is really obvious and makes this piece not really a candidate for TPG submission.

It will cost around $50 in shipping & grading service ...... you can get a much better coin already graded in PCGS slab for the same cost or less.

That container is a Capital Plastics holder, is not original packaging but rather aftermarket, and will not cause PVC contamination.
PVC is polyvinylchloride and many soft flips are made from this. If you stretch the 2x2 and it smells like a shower curtain, it contains PVC. The contamination may take years to develop and shows as small blue/green areas and sometimes makes it into top company slabs. It could eventually cause pitting into the surface of a coin if left long enough.

Too good for junk, not good enough to submit. Just put it in something to keep it as is. Close though.

That holder is inert and safe for indefinite storage. Nice dime, but not necessarily worth slabbing.

I think that those three dimes in that holder are more interesting than the one coin in a slab.
And no, that holder, which is made of lucite or a lucite like material does not pose a PVC risk.

Lucite is a tradename for Dow's version of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), also known as acrylic. Other trade names include Plexiglas and Acrylite.
Very different from PVC.

The holder itself is unusual in that it is entirely clear. The style of the holder would appear to be Capital Plastics. What you have are three common uncirculated Roosevelt dimes in an interesting lucite holder. The coins are not worth the cost of slabbing but you may still be able to get a bit of a premium because of the holder.
In 1955 the end of coin production at the San Francisco Mint (for awhile) prompted a large number of commemorative holders for the coins of that year. 1955 coins, rolls and bags, were hoarded in large numbers.

Nice little set of 55 Dimes and unless you want to put them in the Registry I would leave them as is. Check the S coin for a RPM though.

If you think it’s graded 66 Full Bands to 67+FB, you could flip it for anywhere around $50 to $1000, but do not ask me for the grade.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.

Point well taken thanks. So, if surface preservation is 60% and you have one nice gouge the luster is lack luster?
Hairlined? I see gouge.
Would this packaging cause the PVC? And is that the original packaging?
All coins are worthy. Some are just more worthy than others.
I see what your talking about now and I think that is the cheap led lights on my new cheap OptiTekScope. Gotta turn down the squelch, still working it all out. Thanks!
No, it will not cause PVD damage, and no not original packaging

Keep it 'as is'.... looks good in that holder with the other two dimes. Cheers, RickO
