These are sellers pics, I know they aren't the best, but it's what I have to go on.
It's currently in a PCGS 58 holder.




Thanks in advance for your opinions!

I agree but I can't imagine it being that bad in AU58. Photo suckage at its finest.

I don't care for it either. I would only buy that coin at a steep discount to wholesale.

This was my thought...can it really be that bad?? I mean I know TPG make mistakes...but I was thinking maybe at an AU50 price it might be worth a gamble.

That coin has way too much chatter and damage for a AU58 coin. Looks more like a VF Details. Do you think the slab is a fake?

If you have a dream about out-posting me, you better wake up and apologize.

I would send it back if you can. Half dimes come really nice in that grade with pretty color to boot.

I haven't bought it yet, and likely won't. \:\)

I'd suspect FAKE SLAB. no way is that a 58!
It looks more like a VF and a crummy one at that!

I was thinking the same thing.

I saw the coin and thought yuck. I thought XF details was a stretch. Unless this is simply the worst photography I've seen all week!

I would check to see if there are true views online.
