@IBetASilverDollar you can post next
....try to find something a bit more challenging
your last one was runaway undisputed NT

 

Haha yeah, I'm not good with modern stuff had no clue that quarter was a no brainer I had never seen one like it. This one might be too for all I know. I just can't get interested in modern coins so it almost has to be a wild one like this to get my attention and fill a type set hole.

 

NT

 

That's better.

It is a silver dime (if clad I'd be very skeptical) and a mint set year, but I'm not fully convinced it's natural...final answer:
QC

 

Going by the photo in the slab and not the TrueViews, I say NT.

 

I'm not shocked at the straight grade, but I'm voting QC on this one.

 

I'd say NT. Quite a few Roosevelt Dimes develop really wild colors.

 

+1. I have too. NT

 

Agree. NT

 

Man I have not been getting notifications for this thread. I have some catching up to do.

 

NT.

 

The reverse pattern on the dime just doesn't feel right to me. Questionable Color in my book.

 

PCGS thought the toning was market acceptable and they sure inspected it closely. It’a a PCGS secure holder, so it must have went through the sniffer, too!? I’d say NT/MA.

 

I think it had the natural golden yellow tone. But the blue and red look accelerated.
QC

 

Pretty wild looking, but I think the progression of colors is accurate, so I vote NT.

 

MA

 

MA
Dimes are wierd anyway.

 

A secure holder does not necessarily mean it went through the sniffer or was inspected. There is no definitive answer to this on their website. If someone sent a coin that was in an older PCGS holder to be reholdered, it could be imaged and put into a new holder without going through the grading process. This seems to have been the case with some offerings from edynamicmarketing on ebay (he had questionable coins reholdered).

 

I am aware we can’t be sure about it. Apparently there was no reason to believe the toning was AT.
