The scratches on liberty and the light areas amongst the dark would have been red flags to me and I think you will get no more than a details grade. </p><p><br /></p><p> I've looked at thousands of dimes and half dimes on ebay over the years and very very rarely can pull the trigger because almost all have been messed with and will not grade. Some of the ones I thought were worth the risk got sent in and came back with details grades. There's just no way around it. If you're going to get it graded, you gotta be highly discretionary and <u>usually</u> find a reason to NOT buy raw coins, 99.9999% of the time. Very few out there will grade. It's a tough game and it's usually just better to buy one already graded and pay. Although not as much of an adventure if that's what you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
