    Do you think this double dime should be graded higher than VF20 by our hosts?

    1875-CC Double Dime PCGS VF20?


    I can make out 3 letters in LIBERTY, healthy shield lines, and a lot more than usual bird feather detail on the reverse.

    My latest purchase. I'm hoping that PCGS downgrades it to XF45.

    Honestly, with it missing so many letters on the shield obverse, I think it’s a F12-15…

    The more I look at it, the more I realize the coin and its color is nice! Perhaps even @Catbert-worthy. It is THAT pretty! But I don't trust my judgment here (retoning?) and wish I had one of you guys here to hand it to and give me a second opinion on it. Anyway, I'm going to have the coin graded. If it straight grades, even at XF45, it will be a "color bargain."

    Have you seen my new Trade dollar? This is a GFRC photo, so I'm not sure exactly what it's going to look like. I trust @GotTheBug's eye, GerryF, and CAC on this one.

    Congrats! That looks like it’s going to be a great coin. Unfortunately GFRC has some of the worst photos in the industry so you never know what you’re getting.

    This is a details coin I won for $17, a mangled holed 1872 half dime, I bought it because it was not labeled as DDO FS101 and I am a variety enthusiast.

    I've gone down that rabbit hole before. This 1855/54 WB-1 was $28.

    This coin I posted earlier in this thread as a MS63 Gold CAC, I sent it to PCGS and had it crossed and restored, and is now a MS66

    That coin is absolutely stunning! 🤤

    @Leeroybrown I can see why you're excited with those two acquisitions, both are tough and they look great, congrats.

    I'm a bit puzzled with the 1891 dime. The DM is a top-100 variety and is cool-looking but is rated an R3+ in rarity (about 200-250 coins exist) and therefore, is not particularly scarce. Is there a significant premium for this DM? As a top-100 variety, I assume there's a small premium.

    I also appreciate the opportunity to figure out what die marriage this is for this 1891 dime.

    There wasn't much of a premium for the coin, in fact if I remember correctly the dealer still gave me a discount from the marked price. I'm particularly fond of the coin because it fills a hole in my 1891 set with varieties.

    What is so special about this coin?

    It has a "blundered date" with the top of another 9 in the dentils. It was selected as a top-100 variety for seated dimes.

    That is such a rare and beautiful example of a no stars proof dime. Certainly a coin I would admire in my own collection. Congrats! Zack.
