    Doesn’t do much for me, but I really don’t collected Seated Liberty. It’s not a coin I’d buy raw.

    VG-8. G-4 money. I would want it graded.

    I am with @gronnh20 and think the seller is unrealistic with the grade of his piece.

    I think it would slab as a Fine, but I would hope to get it at a good bit less than 1k. BTW, this one is nicer than mine. :).

    I sure wouldn't buy it raw. But I'm not sure the seller's grade is so far out of line.

    Ordinarily, I'd let this thread linger a bit longer for more responses, but the seller has not responded to my message.

    The coin, purported to be an 1885-S dime is actually an 1885 seated dime and the reverse of a Barber Dime from San Francisco.

    Seller has been advised and coin has been reported to eBay.

    I collect raw and buy raw. This is one of the 33 I'm lacking for a complete series, but like most I would not buy raw above $150 on EBAY or any where else sight unseen. I would however, buy it raw from a reputable dealer in person. The one in question falls within the stated grade, however I'm with toughCoins. The reverse looks off somehow. But again, not for me.

    Nice work; I was going to say the mintmark was incorrect, but now I learn the entire rev is wrong!

    Yeah it took me a minute and then I said something really wrong here wreath a lot more thin and sparse than a seated coin should have. A barber reverse for sure.

    Seller said he is returning it to where he bought it.
