1858 seated dime

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...

Very nice indeed. I like it.

 

Nice looking coin. You should be happy with that one.

 

It is a great coin!!!
What is not to like! That toning is really something!
Also can't wait to see that AU58 1853

That's a good coin - I like it very much!

After removing the coin from the slab, I took some additional photos. The color on the obverse is strong compared to the original pictures.

 

I think it was a bad idea cracking it out of the slab. I preferred it graded.

 

very nice, definitely a keeper!

 

Still a very nice keeper.

 

I am no expert but why would you remove it from a slab? I would prefer it in one..

 

Big eye appeal, for me

 

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.

 

Nice coin. I'll guess it's going in a type set album.

 

Wow I type slow.

 

pretty coin!
