1850-O Dime. Chance at AU50?

Big jump in price from xf/au(160/350)

Think it'd make an AU50?

I don't think so
Very Fine 30 - 35 with Oval O maybe
But still a Very nice seated Dime.

 

VF at best, I call it fine obverse VF reverse to be on the safe side.

 

No I think is a 40

 

It's a possibility in about 500 years, but not any time sooner.

Its a pretty little coin, but I would be hoping for XF not AU.

 

Not going to grade but this coin also looks to have been cleaned.

 

I thought it was XF for sure. I was looking at the flag pole for reference. Guess that doesn't matter as much as I thought it did.

I have to agree a good closeup of Obv & Rev would Help!


Cleaned????????

 

I used to collect the halves more than dimes, but look how the horizontal shield lines starting to merge a little, and the wear on her shoulder. It might be the pic sir, I do not know if this is better in hand. I would say XF40 myself, with a shot at 45 depending on the grader's mood, but also a shot at 35. Depends on how pretty it is in hand IMHO. Always remember these little coins usually came very well struck, so any missing detail is usually wear.

 

All that dirt around the lettering and other devices?

 

I'll get a better pic shortly.

 

I don't see any sign of cleaning tho the pics a bit blurry. Xf 40 on a real good day 45

 

Looking forward to better pix. for now I hazard 40

 

40

40 I would think. Nice one!

 

I think VF 35 XF 40. There does appear to still be some luster around the stars, but I think a bit too much wear for a 45.

 

40. 45 on a lenient day. A solid better 40 in my opinion no change with the new pics
