A very nice MAD Dime.
That is a fantastic buy! You did good grasshopper. :)
We're just having a little fun. So far this year I would grade myself as G-4 at best but I'm recovering and up to a G-6 at the moment. :)
You're welcome

That's funny! A great find. Someone from the ancients forum should be able to tell you. Ask the mods to move it there.

Damaged
This has been toned by the environment. It's environmental damaged. Welcome to CT.
I think that description fits most collectors of anything.
