Hi can anybody tell the grade of this barber dime. im no expert but it looks very nice to me. Please share your opinions. Thanks.
Are these photos taken with a phone? My iPhone won't focus closer than about 4 inches so I lay it down on the flat end of a toilet paper roll and put the coin on the table under it. Zoom as much as you can, then edit the results to crop away the excess. From the best picture I see great detail in the tassels on the reverse so I am guessing MS64 until I see more. Could be in the couple of hundred dollar range by the price guide. More research would be needed.
Also, go to eBay and search for Barber dimes in MS 64 and 65. If you have any trouble getting photos you can compare your coin to lots of examples and form your own conclusion.
First pic looks like it could be a proof. Second looks like a worn circulated coin that's been cleaned. So somewhere between there? lol The color in the second image definitely looks cleaned to me. May have been polished and that's why some images look like a proof.
Photo’s are too out of focus to detect mint luster. If that dime displays luster and has not been polished, then yes it may very well be a high quality example.
