Forgive the pics. The slab is scratched not the coin. Just purchased at the coin show in Loveland, Colorado this morning.

    PF66 and with better pics PF67 possible. Nice coin. Never collected any Merc proofs. Good pickup.

    I agree with some above. Looks PR66 shot 67, no CAM

    Good looking example ... I think (needs a polished slab and another shot)

    Can’t grad a proof from one photo. But I like the brightness of the coin hard to find without haze. If I had tier I’d throw out a 65 If indeed it is in a 65 holder leave it there and have it beaned
    Just my opinion

    Nice dime, are you working on a set?

    It was good. Small but there were some good coins. One dealer had some Trade Dollar patterns listed in the $80,000's I thought were neat. Overall, a little of everything for everyone

    Cool, hopefully most of the tables are still there tomorrow. Probably a shot in the dark, but I'm hoping to find a Barber half with an ANACS photo certificate.

    Not really working towards any sets. Just really appreciating older proofs. Plus I have always liked the proofs minted between 1936-1942.

    Saw the capital holder with the full set of proof trade dollars in it near the entrance. That was pretty cool. Didn't find what I was looking for, so settled for a 10 ounces of silver instead.

    Looks like a nice dime. The grade is difficult to guess with the slab scratches but since they are all on the holder and not on the coin I will guess PR67.

    If you want to rotate your coin back just do this.

    I will try this tonight. The dealer I bought it from liked the coin but was ultimately selling it because it wasnt centered in the holder.

    Technically, a coin rotated in a holder is still centered. So did this dealer offer you a discount since there was an issue that (in his mind) couldn't be fixed? :D

    He did take a few bucks off. It was a good deal regardless.
