I sent this is with a few other dimes all came back ms66 with out full bands.
this dime is absolutely one of the most beautiful I own, regardless of the grade.
Is it close to PL? I think some more reverse frost would help, although I'm wondering if this cameo look is common on these 68 D dimes
Cert is 38131459

Try changing the angle of the lighting. It will illuminate the areas we need to see better. I still think I'm seeing some evidence of separation lines though so it's promising.
I will when I get home today, I played around with it so much, I don't have the same light source that I used to use, but I'll try a different one and see how it turns out.

I won't go into too much detail on this thread. It was a mixture of "don't meet your heroes" and not having a place to go from the top. After working for so long to get into PCGS the whole situation let me down so much. I'm getting back into it as a hobby though, might write a book or two soon to help me get back. |

| I see what you're seeing on the 93, and the more clear reverse picture helps confirm that bubbles forming from the zinc are creating the bubbles. Photographing coins is actually really hard, especially when trying to capture small devices, a cheap small but good handheld camera to get started really helps, and it will be easier to focus that through a microscope or loop, it takes practice and good equipment to get professional looking photos, I believe there to be a photography section of this forum that you can check out for in depth advice |

| Interesting, has me stumped. My first impression is that it's a fake coin but perhaps it could be from different stock, Philadelphia was making foreign coins at that time, although I can't imagine a copper alloy weighing that much different. You'd have to get it scanned to see what kind of metal it is. My first impression is that it is a fake coin, but I can't tell you. Very interesting, I look forward to seeing what other people say. |

Thanks guys
I hope I didn't use up all my luck by finding two of these in the span of a week. This one is also very attractive. Such an exciting coin to find and have I had to share it with you all.
I have been looking for one of these forever. I finally found this one while searching through eBay listings of 1909 VDB wheat cents. I still can't believe I found one. Looks like it's probably AU58. Maybe it's a slider MS63. Light signs of wear in my opinion. Either way I'm still so glad to have found one.
