Ok, so I've been scowering for nice seated dimes that are in my price range( < $200). I've been settling too much. They've been hard to come by lately; but I believe that this one fits the bill for what I've been looking for. It has wear, but an attractive balance of color/detail and luster in my opinion. I also have a PCGS AU-58 1853 arrows dime on the way that I will post pics of later...
It is a great coin!!! What is not to like! That toning is really something! Also can't wait to see that AU58 1853
After removing the coin from the slab, I took some additional photos. The color on the obverse is strong compared to the original pictures.
because the big square piece of plastic won't fit in the tiny circular hole that the DANSCO 7070 gives me. I photograph all my coins both in and out of the slab, and I keep the labels in case I decide to sell.
