1905 s barber dime grade

Do you all think this is the correct grade for this coin. Thanks

Looks fine by me. Reverse is nice. Obverse is ugly!

 

I agree with @Evan Saltis. An MS-61 grade seems rather appropriate for this coin due to the dull luster of the obverse combined with the contact marks on Mrs. Liberty's cheek.

 

Before I saw the obverse I didn't understand how it was MS-61 but the contact marks certainly are concentrated on one side.

 

Thanks I like to get second opinions on items when its a little bit more expensive.

 

And a fair amount of time in circulation.
In fact I would say the marks on the neck are from a light cleaning.

 

I think it's graded on the high side.

 

Reverse looks great - MS63ish in my opinion. However, the obverse seems a bit more on the AU58+ side.

Having said that, I've seen coins graded by TPGs which come in at MS but look "worse" due to having weaker strikes, known die issues on a specific year/MM, and so on. I had some folks explain this to me when I showed a ratty looking seated liberty dime.

 

About right. I agree the reverse better than the obverse. Probably a net grade au obverse ms reverse

 

Also AU. Without seeing it in hand, I don't see this as mint state.

 

Why cant you just make one thread?!

 

Sorry I'm new to the forums

 

I think it makes more sense to have 1 coin per thread. Otherwise things get confusing really fast.
