    Hi - just wondering if anyone had thoughts on this dime. It's a very low mintage. Does it look legit? Any thoughts to value? (sorry about the small pics)

    Overall impression it looks genuine. Maybe the mintmark seems a bit funny shape.

    It looks legit to me but for the series it’s not a low mintage coin.

    Mintage is 60,000 - seemed pretty low to me.

    I must have been thinking about the New Orleans mint mark. My apologies.

    A scarce beauty. Looks good to me.

    Thanks everyone. It's with a group of 14 [mostly] less than stellar coins (polished, melt value silver) and a seated quarter that looks ok.
    But I'm apparently not the only one who spotted it - bidding is about $400 for the lot now (it was less than $200 when I posted this thread).
