I don't assign grades, but I wouldn't have guessed G4 for that one. The coin looks easily G6.
Impressive that it was effective on something as light as a dime. How long did it take? The micro O is the mint mark punch for the quarter....
While a key date and expensive, they're frequently enough available that you should be able to be selective in your purchase. Don't buy the first...
Didn't have to pay for it, so it's not a newp. Got it today. Goes nicely with my PCGS and NGC ones. [ATTACH]
