I agree that it's been cleaned, most apparent on rev as pointed out before. uneven coloring is also a tip off. Otherwise looks like a nice coin.
I wonder if Morgandude has had any similar experiences in the subsequent 4 years?
wire edge rims, looks like a proof. 64? beautiful color
Ah, ok. misunderstood.
Great looking dimes, Bill. I was sure that 1869 was a proof!
Impossible to assess from the photo posted. Decent examples are in high demand though.
There are lots of cool ones out there with interesting designs. for the most part, I stick to the "Monitor" Patriotics.

my opinion, it's a myriad of tiny contact marks on semi prooflike surfaces which tends to accentuate the marks under photo lighting. Bill's...

Too many fakes out there, unless you are confident in your counterfeit detection abilities I would pass.
The last one looks to me like an AU58, but probably graded MS. Old dip, not overdone, and album retoned. Perfectly acceptable.
