This is the first time i have used photo bucket and i would like to know if the pics are big enough and clear enough for you guys to give a opinion and mabe what you think it would grade. These shots were taking with a Minolta Dimage S414 or should i just give up.

    you need to try a macro setting so you can get bigger pics

    Satelite photos? A little focus would be good as well.

    Other than that it looks like a nice dime. I would not want to date it though.

    Hi i did put the camra on macro and took the shots.The size of the shot was 5.25 mbs tried to upload to photo bucket but i would not take so i had to reduce it down to the sizes you see now. How do i get this to just under 50 kb as requiered for this forum.

    Crop out all of the background, or at least as much as you can, then upload to Photobucket.com. Copy and paste and you are there.image

    Nice looking dime. Hard to grade from that pic tho, but with a gun to my head, I'd say 63-64.
    Looks nicely struck too.

    And is there a "D" on the other side?

    Also, make sure your upload settings on photobucket aren't too small.... Mine is set at 1028 X 768

    Nice to see your coin is growing up! Look how big it is now. Is there a D on the other side?

    From what I see on the reverse the coin looks like it has been cleaned. Your photo is below after being touched up in photo shop.
