<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justcallmedan, post: 3456877, member: 32231&quot;]I have an 1892-S Barber dime that I recently acquired as a G-4 graded coin.&nbsp; (Photos attached.)&nbsp; Using the PCGS PhotoGrade examples, the coin is a pretty solid G-4 on the obverse.&nbsp; The confusing part is the reverse side.&nbsp; Generally, I&#039;d say that it averages a F-12 with the 8 o&#039;clock area of the reverse maybe grading at a VG-10 and the 2 o&#039;clock area grading as high as a F-15 when you look at the corn and wheat kernel detail.&nbsp; Either way, they&#039;re better than the obverse!</p><p><br /></p><p>How does this happen?&nbsp; Is this something that happens often enough that there are &quot;guidelines&quot; for accurate grading of such a coin?&nbsp; Is it worth anything more than the G-4 price I bought it at?&nbsp; G-4 retails about $80 per PCGS, F-12 about $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your thoughts and expertise would be greatly appreciated!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Dan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
