1875 Seated Liberty dime.

Here's a raw coin I recently bought at Santa Clara. I don't think it will slab due to the scratch (and even if it did slab I'd call it a high end AU), but before I purchased the coin the dealer and I reached an agreement on a buy back if that occurs. As you know, I'm not a big fan of small coins, but this one was just a total WOWSER!, so I took a shot at it. Even if it BB's I'm not sure I'd return it. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Is that a photo of a rainbow or the light at the end of the tunnel? Don't go into the light!!!

Absolute gorgeous specimen regardless of grade. Great pick, Sy. (thumbs u

Sy......I think that I hate you...... ........Yep, I definitely hate ya!

 

Dang! What an awesome, incredible, mind-blowing, wowzer coin! If it had arrows then I'd be hounding you, stalking you to make it mine.

 

p.s. I would think (and hope) that the scratch would be negligable when contrasted with the toning. It should grade, IMO.

Next time you see Sy at a show, make sure he checks his crayons at the door before he enters the building.

I'm glad you folks like it. It sure made me go belly up.

 

What's with the Arrows, Victor, is that the next coin needed for your typeset?

I recently sent this in to PCGS and was pleasantly surprised to find out this evening that it graded MS 62.

[robec1347]

Great score Sy. That is a pleasant surprise. Gotta say, it is an awful nice coin. Especially with that beautiful toning. (thumbs u
