1844 seated liberty 10c - guess the grade? GRADE IS IN FROM NGC

[yonico]

It's in a no-problem older ANACS holder, bought as part of a large collection.

what do you think it grades?

 

 

 

 

 

THANKS!

VF 20 maybe VF 25 .

Looks like a nice circulated Seated Dime.

[BillJones]

No better than VF-20. It is original, but it's not that pretty. The shield looks like a VF-20. The rest of the obverse looks like a Fine.

[jayman1970]

I think a fine 15 ,L,I and Y in liberty are weak.It would not surprise me to see a VF 30 on the label

[Dudley the 1st]

Fine 15 for me. Old ANACS though, I would not be surprised with VF30 too.

[Walkerfan]

VF20

[Bruceswar]

I think the holder is bogus. Looks like a fake holder. Look at the word ANACS on the left. They were not that sloppy and they always had a grade on the coin.

[Walkerfan]

YEAH!! I was wondering where the grade was!! I missed the misspelling, though!!

[zvandehey-migration]

Looks vf20, possible old cleaning? I know you said that it was problem free though. Did you photoshop out the grade? Is that why the date looks funny?

Pic is photoshopped to hide the grade

Yes I did

 

Coin is very dark, hard to capture all detail. But in hand it doesn't look cleaned to me.

 

If NGC agrees with most of you and calls it a VF i'd be very happy. A VF is a $500 coin that I got for close to nothing.

 

More guesses?

[FishyOne]

If this ANACS F12 that sold on Heritage for $253 in March is any indication, it's a 15 at best.

[James_OldeTowne]

I would grade it F-15. For some reason, many 1844 dimes are in that F-15 to VF-20 range.

[coinman_23885]

F15

[coinman_23885]

Here is a F12 in an old ANACS holder that looks close Link .

[jayman1970]

That is pretty close except liberty is stronger in this example,I still think fine 15

The topic coin has more detail then the F12 coin from Heritage.

[yonico]

Both examples showed for comparison look close to my coin, but on my coin liberty looks stronger and details on the shield in general are better, in my opinion.

 

I decided to send it out to NGC anyways. With grading fees and everything, I would do good even if it grades F12.

 

Wil post ANACS grade and full slab pic tomorrow

 

Thank you so much for your opinions!

Please be careful with 1844 dimes. I've found that you have to pay 25% "back of bid" to come out ahead. Their value is overrated in every price guide I've seen.

 

It's far from a rare, or even scarce date. I've owned as many as six at one time, and that was because it was a struggle to sell them at a profit.

That's why I called it a F15. The OP's coin has more detail, but not enough to make the VF threshold (at least not in my opinion).

[L1ncolnF4n]

VF-20 to 25, but I lean on the 20.

 

edit: typo

ANACS graded VF20

 

it is on the way to NGC right now

Did you crack it out or send it still in the ANACS Holder.

I think it will cross at VF 20 either way .

I sent it in the anacs holder.

 

which makes no difference, i think; because when you send a non-pcgs holder they crack it BEFORE it gets to the grading room, and the graders get to look at it as a RAW coin.

 

i really hope you're right and it will end up in a VF holder!

 

thanks

Spot on, I agree.

I understand..

 

I Paid about 25% OF bid for it, not back of bid.

That's why I decided to take a chance and send to NGC instead of selling as is.

If it comes back F I'm still ahead

I don't think it's RARE, but it is a better date - $500 bid at VF!
