    I know 80s dimes are more difficult to get ahold of I good shape. What do you think of these 2. Also what would be the main thing to look for in say an 81 dime grade worthy?

    Hit the thread tools drop down menu at the top of this thread and edit the title from Jefferson to Roosevelt. You don't have long before it won't let you edit the title anymore.

    PS not grade worthy

    Maybe a couple of Bucks IN MS67+. Not worth grading . Pass it on to future generations .

    The main thing to look for for 1981 dimes is one that looks like it just got fresh struck at the mint.

    To go along with this main thing, you would want absolutely clear fields, a strong strike and no evidence of die deterioration. To be TPG worthy, MS67 or better…imo…Spark

    Agreed with those who said it is not worth the expense of certification. No way that one remotely approaches MS67, if MS at all. That being said, there's nothing wrong with it. If you think it's a keeper, then stick it in your album. I just wouldn't waste money trying to slab it, is all.

    @Cheech9712 . Yes, Americans call it " Hide and Seek".
    "Olly olly oxen free" is a catchphrase or truce term used in children's games such as hide and seek, capture the flag, and kick the can to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game.
