The dime I had as a 4.7. I normally don't collect dimes (I think they are a little too small to appreciate the toning), but this one I liked and it's the only toned dime in my core collection.

@Morgandude11 you are up...

 

Dime is pretty 4.8

 

Strong. 5.4 I like

 

That seller tends to juice photos. I’m struggling to figure out what it really looks like but as is, I’m not a big fan.
I’d call it a 3.5

 

I love the vivid coloring; especially the cosmic blues! I'll give it a 6.

 

Holy cow: 5.9

If it were MS65 I would give it a 6, those luster grazes on the cheek matter.

 

I got outbid for this coin, by $90. It went for over a thousand. Sorry I did not bid higher. The coin picture is not juiced, to my knowledge

 

4.8

 

6. A monster to my eyes. Yes there are better out there but I like this one quite a lot. The more you look at it the more colors you see.


Edit: After the following discussion, I'm pretty uncertain...guess you can put me in at 4.7 if others are changing their opinions.

 

The die crack is fun too

 

For the Roosie dime - 4.6

For the 1883 Morgan - 5.2 (too much yellow for higher IMO)

 

You make me feel bad that I didn’t hang in there for the final bid, and raise it. I stubbornly hung in there with my max bid.

My rating is 5.9. It is a monster, but the grade is a slight limiting factor.

 

I'll say you were fortunate to not win it. I've looked at plenty of eBay auctions and this photo is almost certainly manipulated. In hand you would have likely seen a middle of the pack coin that is nowhere near as vibrant as the photo.

 

I’m judging off of the above photo as I believe that is closer to what it actually would look like in hand. I call it a solid 4. I could be wrong but to me the OP photos absolutely look like the saturation is cranked.

I personally think the coin is more attractive without the juicing anyway.

 

Who is the seller?

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1883-MORGA...798507?hash=item2d15888bab:g:dk8AAOSwtkFfPe7M

 

If the coin looks more like this photo, as opposed to the sold photos I posted, no way I would have paid $1000 bucks for that. It would be a nice 4-4.4 coin, but no monster, and not worth a grand. I have never seen the coin.

 

It should tell you at least a little something that one of this sellers coins that sold in the auction on 30 Aug on eBay for $445, also sold again on 15 Sep for a "best offer". It was likely not as the picture looked and was returned by the auction winner on 30 Aug. Just a guess. It could also be a bidder that didn't pay - but usually you'd just offer it to the under-bidder in that case.
