    You know, that dime looks like it has some color that isn't showing in the pics. I REALLY REALLY like it! Looks like it came out of a Mint Set. Oh, and nice die crack on the reverse of the Morgan!

    Thanks it is a pretty nice looking dime, but not really any color other than the tan/brown.

    So it seems the majority consensus is that editing posts will/should not make a difference. I am not going to penalize for editing posts. Unless the editing is done after the actual grades are posted at the end of the round.

    #1- MS 62, Just a little to much going on in this one for a higher grade
    #2- MS 65. Fulll Steps, Nice coin
    #3- MS 63, Little to weak of a strike for a higher grade

    All of this is just my opinion and beleive me it doesn't count for much, just ask my wife

    Into the devil's den..ignoring a VAM or other varieties..I am going with 65 or a strong 64. The
    strength of the stamp moved me to this opine. IE..very nice bust on OBV and the eagle is same..Tony67

    On this coin..again..ignoring varieties..IE..doubling on STATES..the obv. is very nice in this photo..the rev. makes me guess this nickel is strong 65..Tony67
    The variety possibilties on the dime are intriguing..but sticking to the mission so to speak..I would say 66 or 7..possibly higher..very nice..thank you..Tony67

    This round will close on Wed. Anyone who does not have their grades posted will be disqualified and we will then move to the next round.

    Skidding in under the wire -- sorry, folks...

    Morgan -- MS62 (was considering 61 here). Nice luster, but it fell in with the wrong crowd.

    Jefferson -- that looks stunning, but I'm thinking those horizontal strikes above Monticello are actually on the coin, not on the holder, because of the color of the highlights from them. So I'm going lower here, MS64.

    Roosevelt -- I'm stuck here. I don't see anything that looks like actual wear, and I don't see any obvious marks, but that reverse is incredibly weak. I have no clue how a TPG would weight that. Uhh... MS62?
