The post office was messing with me ... holding mail longer than I requested. By Saturday afternoon I knew I was gonna have to go down there,
but it was too late, so I had to wait until today for this. I figured she was there waiting for me.


Thanks to that crazy duck Ken for sending her my way! image


Not a great picture ... but pretty true


Guess the grade ... thoughts, comment, opinions ... go ahead, I can take it ... I have a thick skin ... that's how I KNOW that at least I am original image

    Nice coin. I don't really collect 'em so I won't offer a grade. Very nice dime though.

    1/2 of me instantly wants to say AU58... But on a 20-D I'm gonna go MS62.

    I'll give it an AU 55. It definitely has some rub on both sides.

    AU58 or MS63. I'll guess the latter.

    Regardless of grade, I like it. It is a very nice Winged Liberty Dime. I think you did very well.
    Enjoy it.

    I'll guess MS64

    Is that in a holder?

    Fell asleep right after dinner last night.

    Thanks for the comments though image ... and BTW Ken's pictures are better ... I need to work on my skills again.

    It's in an old green label holder ... and IMO is accurately, if not a little conservatively graded as a MS62. I would be okay seeing it as a 63 as well, but then it would have cost me more image

    Ricko ... since you asked ... right now it's for the early part of my PCGS set ... but Winged Lib's are a 22+ year love affair for me. My avatar is a near Gem/Gem 29p that I purchased in 1987, and is still part of my raw set. Currently I am trying to do a better date year set from 1916 to 1926 in PCGS to compliment my "final 50".

    And thanks again Ken ... I like it ... it is a nice solid coin. image

    You can't go wrong with getting stuff from Ken. He knows his stuff. Congrats, Todd, on a nice pick.
