What would you say this 1916D Dime grades?

OK, it is NGC Certified, as you can see by the slab, but in you guys' opinion, what would you grade it as if it were raw? And please say why you voted what you did. Please, don't give away NGC's grade if you have seen the Coin on other Sites as I want an unbiased opinion on this.

I would say: "What was it like being born in 1916 and living through the great depression?"

That coin appears to be About good - good in my opinion. $400 seems like a reasonable price.

Also, welcome to CT!

 

AG3 rims are to flat on the reverse IMO to make a 4

 

I'll go 4...because it's NGC and I've seen 4's that look like that

edit: oh...you asked if it were raw...well...hmm..I'd still go 4

 

G4

 

Keys will usually get a bump, but I think even though its nice even wear, its just a bit too much for a G4. I'll say AG3.

 

I would call it a 3, nice pickup btw

 

I believe it has pretty good detail.
If the rim wasn't flat, it would bring a VG IMO.
I call it G4.
For an AG3, I'd expect to see a bit less detail overall.
(My .02, worth what you paid for it.)

 

Welcome to CT! I will go with G4. Nice detail. TC

 

g4, almost a g6 or vg8, but not quite. But, if you paid $400, details, looks improperly cleaned in 2nd set of photos. If not, I'm looking for one, PM me.

 

I went with 3 because it just looks like one.

 

I would say AG3 and actually looks like it should be in a details holder.

 

Why would it be details?

 

The Grade Depends Upom The TPG!!

It is from my experience with "Top Tier" TPG a G4 or better, probably graded VG8. I've seen that date graded by "Top Tier" TPG, in similar condition, graded Fine. I wouldn't be amazed to see it currently TPG "market graded" VF. If one had objectively followed my TPG posts they wouldn't be amazed either. :thumb:

 

Please show us one with that amount of wear graded F or VF.

 

hmm...I don't think that's anywhere close to F or VF. But that's just me

 

AG3 details net FR2 would be my grade.

 

Details because $400 is low for a g4, they go for at least $600 on eBay and it looks improperly cleaned in 2nd set of photos but maybe just the pics.

 

In AG-3 condition.

 

I'd give it a G-4 .
