Thanks for the link. You've both helped me look at the coin with a better eye. Points I'm trying to reconcile in my own mind: The elevated "1"....
Thanks for all the responses. Great feedback and much help improving my diagnostic eye!
I have much to learn about dimes and dime varieties. Great discussion for an AG-3 coin, thanks!
Thanks again. You make a convincing case, I'll take a deeper look at the JR-9 variety.
Thanks for the responses! Years ago, I had labeled this "small date" but upon revisiting my dime collection, I changed my mind. Thank you for...

The 2019 Red Books are starting to go on sale and I need to pick one up. My question is whether the Mega Red is worth the premium or is the spiral...
Perhaps there's a business opportunity here. Like CAC, put a bean on the slab, say a bright red one. Instead of approval however, like CAC, it...
Thanks for the feedback. That was my impression. A silly story attached to a bunch of coins, many with questionable surfaces, made me wonder...
I'll say MS-65 based on the great details due to the strong strike. But nickels, especially Buffalo, I am not good at.
I've been trying to improve my grading and counterfeit detecting ability and came across this auction on eBay....
