I dint know. What's going on with the bar going from the e in dime into the leaves? Ill go with a 63 just to start
That's the cool thing about this specific large-stars example - it's a clash mark!

Where?
In the meantime, I’ll guess MS62, shot AU58.

Au55
Looks really nice on first glance. But reverse - details?
55
Au58
If color not an issue, i guess 63. I don't feel any wear present, perhaps some cabinet friction. Not near as smart as some other graders here, but that's my opinion. Were this coin mine, I would never accept AU prices for it, so I might own it for a while. Lol

Just a wild guess because he said details and there are numerous hits in the right
obverse fields.
I don’t like the color. My grade is AU sharpness, AT.
I don’t care for the tiny untoned stops here and there. It does not look like the “terminal” black toning.
Thank you.

yes, big time lol!
I agree iphones are tough to get images without the pixelations.
Why didn’t you say that before the grade was posted ?

Don’t be too hard on yourself. The majority of guesses were AU.

I guessed high again. i should've left it at too dark to tell
Here is the TrueView;

Appears to be an F -110 (your iPhone did not do this dime justice!!!).
I thought I had said so, Mark, when I said I would not let the coin go for AU prices if it were mine and GTG of MS63. You have no idea how close I was to saying MS64, then got scared by all the others. lol

You didn’t post your guess so it never happened. 😉

I think that the average grade guess would have been higher, had those pictures been posted, instead.

ye, it's hard to make out colors from a jail cell.
Seriously had the TV been shown, most would not have gone below 62-63 (well, except @MsMorrisine )
I thought 63 when I saw the original post, then scrolled down and saw 64. Cool looking coin, sort of a “Black Beauty” 🌚

Probably. However, the color in the Trueview photos is way off base. For virtually every viewing angle, the coin is dark blue/grey.

So based on the owner’s photo vs the True View, if you bought the coin from the True View and it looked like the owner’s photo when you received it, would you be disappointed or feel mislead?
or.... the owner took a awful photo

In-hand, from almost all viewing angles, my photo conveys a substantially more accurate representation. And I personally much prefer the darker appearance over the heavily exaggerated colors in the Trueview.

However, the owner says his photos more accurately reflect what the coin looks like in person…..soooooo…….
