So where does it grade....or does it?

Lets have some fun. BTW, there is no wrong answer, silly one maybe, but not wrong. The coin is raw.

MS62 (without cheating and looking at photograde)

nice dime... chinese?

She's authentic. This isn't a trick question. Just a grade the Merc post.

Doc, don't you have a drill attachment in the office that can buff that dime out...?

MS63

I think it is better than AU55. Maybe 62. Is that a dent in the middle band?

Yes it is. This coin is Split Band for sure.

Who will be doing the slabbing.

Its gonna stay raw and be an upgrade for dad's dansco merc collection. Current coin is a mid-XF, so this is a nice replacement.

I will do a "guess the grade" for my next submission lot if you want. That would be fun.

IMO, MS61 FB

MS-63
Nice coin

No idea on grade.
Is that the one you bought for $7 in the KSA?

I was wondering the very same thing! If it is... what did u do to clean it up to look that good?

maybe.

Without seeing the other guesses I was going to say 63 or 62.
But, after looking at the other guesses I feel the need to change to "Authentic details ungradeable"
Can't really tell from a picture!!
Probably looks much better in hand??

AU55 cleaned. Looks dipped. Maybe it's the pics, but I don't see metal flow lines.

QVC would be selling that as MS69+

Complete guess: AU58 Cleaned.

My other guesses are based on cleaning method:

1) Autoclave, we know who has one
2) Ultrasonic cleaner (The bath thing that the jewlery stores have)
3) Shot in the dark: Toothpaste

I forgot to post my guess. MS-63 FB. Sure it was "cleaned"...but it was done right. The coin looks to be an early die state with minor flow lines, a strong full strike, and no die cracks. The original mint luster was always there, I just lifted 97 years of gunk to let it shine again. No hair lines are noted and the luster flows unbroken from fields over the high points of the devises.

I know its tough to grade from any photos...and I get to hold the coin in hand so that is kinda like cheating, but I am still happy with the "guess the grade" responses. Nice work crew.

Everyone had their chance to bid on it.

I thought it was free to the closest guess!
