    After being lost in the mail for over a month, this one finally arrived today.


    It's actually nicer then the pictures appeared. What do you think it grades as?

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Neither side has what it takes to be a 20.

    The reverse is a 15.

    The obverse is a 12.

    Thus, it will get an overall F-12 grade, I think.

    Having several thousand Barber dimes, [Not a typo] I would grade it a F-12.

    Only several thousand? I think you need a few more.

    F15. Be sure to pay the seller if he refunded you. I'm sure you did. Nice original coin!

    F-12 obverse, f-15 reverse, F-12 overall, mainly due to LIBERTY not being fully readable.

    IMO, the coin is a TECHNICAL F-15. The missing letters on liberty are due to the New Orleans strike. However, The fact that "Liberty" is not full makes me agree w/physicsFan = Fine-12. That is probably what most collectors would grade it.

    There are also several obvious rim nicks that may be expected on lower grade coins.

    Here's the best I can do with the coin, it's not missing any letters, but they're not all full. This picture might show the LIBERTY a little better than my previous one.

    Still not VF20, IMO. You're at least flirting with F-15, but I could see someone giving it a 12.
