    MS 65 FB (the middle band is iffy but I think it just made it)...looks like a nice coin overall

    Looks about 66, possibly FB. Hard to see the central band clearly in your photo.

    Between your phone pics and my phone screen I’d believe just about anything. Let’s go with 65FB.

    I used to have a coolpix that I took photos with, but it crapped out. I need to buy a Rebel or something similar. I borrowed my daughters one time and it actually took decent photos in macro mode.

    Based on what I can see.... I would say 65, no FB. As others have indicated, the picture could be misleading regarding the bands. Cheers, RickO

    Grading uncirculated Winged Liberty head dimes almost impossible to do with images, even good ones.The coin appears to me to be choice (63 or 64, can't tell from the images), full bands questionable. If I had this coin in hand for inspection, I might find it to be a gem.

    Looks like a nice coin. I was debating between 65 and 66, but gave it a bump for eye appeal. B)

    I was pretty sure it was a 66, but now that I see that era slab, I think I understand. Looks attractive, at any grade.

    I don't see many grade limiting effects on that coin. Probably a good upgrade candidate.

    @relicsncoins I keep telling myself I’m going to do a better job with my pics, but I think every single one I’ve posted has still been from my phone. I really like that dime.
