    I too would have to call it a PF63. A few to many scratch-like disturbances. But a nice coin.

    Tough to guess with the small pics. At least AU50+

    I am looking at my book and they have no proofs pictured, I would think it is a proof tho, so I will say pr-65, an excellent coin, seeing coins like this is good for me to stop impulse buying, since now I know how good looking some of these coins can be, I can more easily resist the ef one when I see it.

    PF-63 or PF-64, depending on how the grader woke up that AM.

    You guys were all close , PF-64 , The slab is in the worst shape I ever seen one even in hand its hard to tell if the haze are sratches or the slab , most are on the slab .
    Any ideas as to a good price .

    Numismedia has it listed at $900 so a really good buy would be $750 or less.

    My first guess was PR62...but I'm not too surprised it made 64. It sure looks like a great coin.

    Can't tell from the photos if there are any hairlines, and the presence of hairlines or not is the determining factor in these proof coins.

    I'll guess PF 65.

    Nice coin, regardless...Mike

    Dude, very nice coin. Buy some "Slab renew" thru ebay for $10-$15. I've used it on PCGS slabs and it is fantastic for hiding scratches and scuffs. I'd say it increased the sale price on my 1934-D MS65 Washington by at least 20% because you couldn't see the mint mark under the scuff marks before and now it "pops" right at you.

    The Grey Sheet has PF-64 at $815, and their prices tend to be low, very low, on Seated dimes. I think you got it for a reasonable price. Not the best deal you'll ever get probably, but far from the worst, I'd wager.

    heck, $850 is only 4.3% over the sheet price.
    I'd say an excellent buy.

    And a beauty!
