GTG 1953 D Roosevelt Dime

If this beast gets a toning bump on its grade, I may vomit. Looks like I already may have. For me, it's a 64. In this toning obsessed world, maybe a 72.

Well to all of you whom guessed an MS -66 you're correct! To those of you whom vomited I hope you're wearing a hat today. and have not had pea soup for lunch.

 

Not a coin I personally would care to have, but that's me. To all the toning bugs who wanted me to show them a coin with unattractive brown toning that got a grade bump, TA DA, here it is.

 

Just didnt see good detail on reverse but if NGC says it is a MS-66....It was interesting though thanks Paddy54!

 

Oh well........where's the crow?

 

What you want, sugar?

 

Yeah!

 

Down boy.... your wife would kill you! And if she didn't the Crow would.....

 

Yeah, but with a smile......

 

I would never turn down beautiful, even toning. But, brown, black or an artificial looking isn't pleasing to me. Bright white is most desired.. to a very pale golden.

 

Blast white can be so boring on older coins and usually means a dipped coin especially on 19th century coins and even a lot of early 20th century . I for one am more obsessed with original skinned coins which are getting harder to find especially for Bust halves .

 

Agreed, no quarrel, but 1953?!?!? Jeez, I have coins in my collection that I KNOW are untouched since 1964 and they don't show that brown crap. Blast white in 1953 coins strikes me as "normal". I guess we have to consider this dime an "early adopter" or precocious youngster.

 

I'm thinking this one may have come from a mint set , or somewhere where the paper was in contact . It's different to say the least .

 

I've seen double mint set coins and have a few sets. This doesn't look the same to me, but that can also be local conditions dependent.

Missing your glasses?

 

There was no grade bump for this coin. TA DA!

 

I guess that means you would turn this one down (Heritage)

 

Yours Dick????? Beautiful !!!!!
