<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1335484, member: 31533&quot;]Thanks for all the comments. This coin is really interesting, and I&#039;m glad I got it. It was actually the FIRST slabbed coin I purchased. I got it off eBay, not knowing anything other than it was highly unlikely I would find an example in rolls, especially me being on the Denver side of the country.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I got it, I was disappointed, because I thought the area around the 2 and below the bust were yucky, and I thought no way could that be a MS65 I got. I contacted the seller (a coin dealer) and said a few things (being a newbie and not knowing better or appreciating things like I do now) and he said If I wasn&#039;t happy with it I could return it, but he looked at another one he had that was graded 65 and said it was much worse looking. </p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to keep this one, and I am glad I did, I have come to appreciate it, as well as in looking for dimes in rolls to appreciate the differences in strikes and to keep many things in mind in searching. I am learning much more about the Uncirculated grading also. I also looked up the info on the dime and how it got out, and there I think are only 15,000 or less examples of these. They were distributed mostly in Ohio and one other place I think. And they were snapped up quite quickly by some dealers. I&#039;d have to re- research this, but the point is it&#039;s not likely to find them in circulation, and with a MS65 about 300.00 red book value, I feel this might go higher in the next 20 years. Could be wrong though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
