Re: Need Help Grading this Coin

Daniel I yield to your grading knowledge. I would have gone with no higher than MS64 and pushing that.

Re: Why haven’t you bought at eBay for awhile? Let Us Know W

I have to say none of the above. I used to buy but stopped when it became required to use paypal for coins. I used to send out several postal money orders a week but that all came to an end and I have not bought anything from there since. I did not have nor do I now have paypal. It just seems that's...

Re: Is this a rotated die error?

The minimal amount that it is rotated would add no significance to the coins value. This is a date/mint that I have not found to add to my collection yet. However I do not actively collect mercury dimes. Nice one.

Wrong mint mark style for the known inverted mint mark. The position of the mm does not look the same as the OMM S/S/D. In my opinion.

Just my opinion Daniel but I don't think it is an RDV-006. I would encourage sending it to an attibutor for an in hand look. Scans and photos can be difficult to attribute by at times.

I agree better photos always help. What I see with these photos is what appears to be separation lines in the IGWT. I have seen many blurry photos by this OP but this coin may have something to it.

I think you may have something here. There does appear to be separation lines and some extra thickness on the IGWT. Check the area of the vest and see if there is doubling there as well. Looks like there may be. This does not appear to be the one listed on coppercoins and coneca has one listed that ...
