<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 8657492, member: 19165&quot;]Are these the best pictures you can get of the coin? I see some things that worry me, but better pictures may allay those concerns:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Obverse right field has a lot of parallel lines. First thought is cleaning... die polish might be possible, but that&#039;s a lot of heavy die polish.</p><p>2. Why is the obverse toning so heavy on the right side, but not on the left? Why are the fields to the left of Liberty so weirdly lifeless and pale, but the rest of the coin is thickly toned?</p><p>3. What are those random weird light patches in the otherwise thick toning on the right obverse?</p><p>4. A coin of that level of wear should show some luster. Again, different/better pictures might show what I&#039;m looking for. That&#039;s an EF level of wear with literally no obverse luster and hidden reverse luster.</p><p>5. Reverse is quite dark, but that might be the lighting in the pics.</p><p>6. It occurs to me... you just say &quot;ANACS slab.&quot; Be more specific... old little white? Yellow? Blue? New? Old? That will change my cost/benefit/risk/reward calculation quite a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would not call this coin a &quot;rarity&quot; except in relative terms. Sure, the 75S is far more available... but the 75 from Philly is not a &quot;rarity&quot; by any means.</p><p><br /></p><p>All this to say... I don&#039;t like the pictures. Based on what I see, I&#039;d say its an XF coin with maybe some problems. It certainly is not an AU coin, as some have guessed. The toning might be attractive, but the pictures don&#039;t show it as well as they might.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the price is right for an XF coin gamble, sure, go for it. You will either have an excellent, original, rainbow toned, stunning double dime.... or, you&#039;ll find out why this coin was never cracked and tried to cross to something where it would maximize it&#039;s profit potential.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
