Plucking Coins of No Value

If I understand correctly what you‘re trying to say, you argue that it would grade MS68 or better because there are no scratches or rim dings…? Exceptional strike? It‘s a modern coin, they‘re all supposed to be well struck ;-)

 

68 is top pop for that and quite a few have been submitted before.

 

We are not "educational, or entertaining" so the OP probably left this thread. He is not here for very long at one time.

 

I think the OP puts everyone on his ignore list who doesn’t agree with him. It must be a pretty long list :-D

 

Moderns are graded brutally.

This dime is exceptional but as a rule if you have one that is exceptional there will be many more. I doubt the coin will grade MS-68 because of the scratch in front of the nose and a small ding on the neck. Even if it grades much lower the coin is still exceptional with great luster and a strong strike from new dies. Many moderns are almost impossible to find with a good strike.

I've pulled 20 or 30 coins per year out of circulation since 1972 and am quite confident a few of these are valuable and many are hard to find in their condition.

 

When I find coins of the quality of this dime I try to trace them down to the bank that's issuing them and buy a bag or two (boxes). Sometimes you can find hundreds of nice Gems using this technique.

 

The ding on the obverse in front of the nose and on the neck would preclude this coin from anything above a 64-65 (ultra moderns are graded really tough). A modern coin grading 68 has to be truly exceptional. I'm not talking just lack of contact marks, I'm talking top notch luster and eye appeal as well. It has to truly stand out from the rest and you'll know when you have one, since even 67s probably occur once every several thousand coins, if that.

 

What are you talking about...I was happily discussing the coin you posted. You said we should "Check this Dime out" claimed that it was "easy MS68 grade." I checked it out as you suggested and gave my thoughts on your assessment of it being an "easy MS68." If you truly think this coin is an MS68 and get this upset when someone tries to tell you otherwise...clearly education isn't your goal.

The fact is this coin isn't an MS68 any more than it is an MS80. There is a clear hit the field in front of Roosevelt's face and another on his neck. I do think it's a very nice example, it's good a good strike and is a clean coin. But, it's an MS64 or so.

 

Hater.

 

for those few posts that engage in this - We can see a predictable string of hostile and useless responses. If you don't want to have a polite discussion, you can excersize selfcontrol and just put down the keyboard. Nobody is forcing you to post or read.

 

Well, I am not submiting it It is just going into a fllip to be buried in a box.

 

No - but I generally put people on the list that talks badly about people instead of contributing to a discussion about coins. You FIT that description, btw. It is called a Meta Discussion. It is a master trolling technique and fine reason to use the ignore button. Such types are people one would chose not to spend time with or befriend. Its OK - 10 billion or so people on the planet. There is bound to be some significant variety.

 

maybe - I just see minimal defects or scratches and a new luster. Dimes tend to have exagerated looking nicks because of there size. I took a quick look at MS 68 dimes on ebay in slabs. the only defects I see in the coin is what I outline in these images. If I missed something I missed it. I think these dings are minor and put it in MS68 class. I admitedly can be wrong and coin has not much value either way. The fields are remarkably clean, espcailly for a business clad.

 

Show me please

 

I hear, but what does a 68 grade have to do with rarity? How many MS68s should be in a million coins? With ASE and modern proofs, PF68s and MS68s are relatively common, even expected. I am not doubting you, but I am just saying, rarity shouldn't be a factor.

 

I am talking about coins in circulation. ASEs and modern proofs are treated with very high levels of quality control. Proofs specifically are handled as carefully as possible by the Mint as to not impact and clash with other coins and create contact marks, which is why you get PF70s on a regular basis. Even with non-proof ASEs the coins are treated with care after strike to preserve quality as much as possible and avoid contact marks. The same is not true for regular business strike coins with mintages in the hundreds of millions or even billions. The coins come out of the press and are fed directly into bins where they clash with each other, then goes through the rolling and shipping process with little regard to preserving quality. Because of this, the vast majority of business strike coins do not even leave the mint in MS68.

 

No doubt, and you can see it in the result. I think my point was that the commoness of the MS68 grades in those coins doesn't make them __not__ MS68s. I make no claims about grading expertise. I have none. but when I shop for Mercs, I often find coin contact marks like this rooster in suprisely high grades, so that is what I compared this to.

 

Sorry but not even close.

Has nothing to do with business strikes
