Back in the 50's (during my collecting "heyday"), a bunch of us kids would sit around a table in the cafeteria and rub mercury on dimes (how safe was that while eating lunch?)... the coins looked just like this one. So I'll grade it M-64 (mercury-64).
MS-65 MS-65PF MS-66 MS-66PF MS-67 MS-67PF MS-68 MS-68PF MS-69 Did you mean PF-68 DC? (Proof - whatever, Deep Cameo?) since it is an S mintmark, this can't be a trick question, since it is a Proof, not much debate there. Unless the holder is mis-marked.
Well, the coin is obviously a proof since it is from San Francisco...and it has a cameo look. I'm going to assume that when you put MS-69PF...you really mean PF-69 and I'm going with that.
I gave it a 68 because of the D in Dime, a possible mark on his nose (by the eye), possible mark on the bottom of the left plant thing, and the spot one the back of his head. There could be something on that C in America Could be marks hiding in the shadows. Of course we've seen a few overgrades lately lol.
OK, this was a little drunk posting.... YES i meant Proof not MS.... also i forgot to include cameo in the grade.... but so far its intresting to h'ear the stories and the opinions on this piece... it is acctually a AWNSER: "PF69-Ultra Cameo" Ill post the whole slab pic if you want...
I hate to say it but that's not an ultra cameo proof this is a ultra camep proof your coin iis a PF 69 with no cameo designation SORRY THAT'S WHAT THE PIC LOOKS LIKE the pic looks like. jazzcoins Joe
Obviously your Pics are very poor it fooled me so you need a better camera or scan even by the slab that does'nt look Ultra cameo it looks just cameo look at my coin big difference that's ultra cameo need better scan or pics are you really sincere and you said you were drunk when you did this Opps Jazzcoins Joe
I'll say PR-68. That little spot behind the head on the obverse is a little too detracting for a 69 IMHO, if of course, it is on the coin. Nice. :thumb: Phoenix
