[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 1480226, member: 8797"][b]sorry about the color issue...[/b] Does this help? Be assured that it really [I]is[/I] copper in color, and seems to match. Have a look :) My sources of lighting are not the best, but I do what I can with what I have. It is markedly thinner than other dimes, and tapered just as described in Mike's article. What you have interpreted as wear, I interpret as a weak strike due to the thin planchet. Again. I am asking for a grade, which is hard to evaluate on a weakly struck coin, because the difference in values between grades would make or break the viability of cost of submission. So even if it pains you to do so, please give your honest opinion of the grade whether you think it's authentic or not. I still have yet to understand, if it is simply worn as has been implied, how in the world it lost a hair over 20% of its mass and retained devices and visible polish marks. (1.85g vs. normal 2.27g) I understand your other concern appears to be that it may in fact a very tarnished obv (correct if I'm wrong). Maybe in these new pics you can see some small nicks and a scratch or two. And the colors are pretty close.[/QUOTE]
