1899 Barber 10c - thoughts ?

Hey guys,

Here we have another experiment with the new camera... an 1899 Barber dime. No adjustments on color, brightness, contrast, nuthin'... just copy and paste.

Comments and opinions are welcomed. Heck, I'll even beg for 'em.

That's a pretty dime! I like the emerging toning. Is that a die crack at 11:00 on the reverse? Cool.

Also, what's going on with Liberty's cap?

 

Yep !

Theories, anyone ? :whistle:

 

a rather large die gouge or chip? I have no idea!



Is this coin raw?

 

How about a strike through? A previous coin had a piece (separated lamination?) fall off and was retained in the die for the next (this coin) strike.

 

au-50? nice coin, nice look nice toning,

 

NGC.

Grade opinions ?

 

MS-64*.

Nice coin.

 

AU-58 or MS 60

 

Nice dime and good pic i am very bad at taking pics.

 

MS65 maybe even 66 on a good day. What is you explanation of the cap?

 

die chip in the cap.
Die crack on the reverse.

Both very nice.

Attractive coin, I'd go 65.

but, hey, what do I know? I wear glasses.

 

An absolutely wonderful specimen. Worthy of an Mint State 66 grade. The reddish-gold and blue toning on the reverse, just screams BUY me, Buy me. SWEET!
