I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

They called it AG3, I'd call it Fair.
i'm in the fair camp too
Why?
I'd consider it AG3.
NGC probably graded it G-04 but should be F-02 to AG-03.
Ag03 .... and tell us what it sold for+

My thinking exactly!
As the rims wear into the reverse lettering significantly, I'd have gone AG3.
When words become unreadable I call them "Fair". "We" is not readable.
‘67 clad dime, in AG3?
Am I missing something? Was this just a failed attempt at PO1?

This dime- overgraded as it is, is as far from PO1 as it is to XF.
I can't imagine any submitter thinking it had a shot.
Well, yes I can.
Why grade it in the first place?? It’s pocket change.
I'd imagine for Lowball collectors, but I do understand your underlining concern
I always keep in mind this somewhat famous quote by Abraham Lincoln:
“All pocket change is equal, but some pennies; nickels, and dimes are more equal than others”
It reminds me of this one I found in the Constar reject bin a few years back. 1996!
I totally understand what you are saying. What bothers me is that this can be achieved by carrying around coins in your pocket without spending them allowing them to wear down but not naturally. Thus, another poor-1 coin. I never come across any low grade clad cents, nickels, or quarters which freely circulate.
I’ve never received a Kennedy half in change, 90%, 40%, or clad, yet there are slabbed poor-1 40% coins? No way did a 40% coin circulate for 30-40 years.
PCGS would beg to differ.
Just because they say it doesn’t mean it’s gospel.
And vice versa.
True!
Someone paid to grade that one?
Sure.
Someone paid to have this one graded (AU55):
Cannot one Wipe with a soft cotton cloth until smooth enough to almost eradicate the date ?
I cheated and checked the census. 1 in G, next lowest are 3 in VF.
Why? Why oh Why????

@braddick Pat, I've carried several clad quarters around in my pocket for at least 20 years to watch them wear. They hit against each when I walk (so people know when I am walking down the hall) but these coins are in no way close to the dime in your op. The letters are not bleeding into the rims and even in the oldest (1965) Washington's hair retains some details. Do you have any idea how the dime became so worn?

gotta put um in the wash machine with every load
Pat, Do you have any idea how the dime became so worn?
I've seen clad quarters from the mid 1960s era that are pretty worn down- like this dime. They are out there. Perhaps twenty years isn't enough time to get this type of wear yet 55+ years is.
