1889 Seated Dime

My most recent addition to the type set. What do you think? It's graded by NGC and will reveal the grade later.

well, I thought cleaned, but since graded by NGC, I'll guess AU-55.

 

The scratches are in the holder not the coin. There's no visible hits other than on the 'M'. The yellowish color is my lighting. Its actually original color.

 

Gorgeous, and the toning is fabulous as well. AU-53? It's a beauty

OK, opinions of AU-53 and AU-55 have been made already, so I'll go out on a limb and say..... AU-58!

I agree with Bone.. the toning IS fabulous! That's a nice little dime!

 

Close but not yet!! Keep guessing

 

Well it seems like there are a few hits on the obverse leg and a few hit on the field on the reverse. I'm guessing that the color is actually nicer than the picture indicates. All of the guesses have been AU so far, so let me say.....how about MS-62?

Nice Coin!

 

Yep. :hammer:

 

WOW, was I off. That slab really has some scratches/smudges on it. A perfect example of "buy the coin, not the plastic " One beautiful coin.

 

Well to me it appeared that there was no visible wear on the breasts of Lady Liberty. I figure that the lighting of the picture caused the surfaces to look unnatural.

Shatsi....What color are the surfaces in hand....it looks like it has formed a nice circular rim toning. Is the center of the coin white?

 

Its original color apart from the toning.

Here's the dealer picture.

 

A bit of a weak strike, and probably dipped in the past before spending time in an album, I guess NGC graded the coin AU 50....Mike

 

No. NGC graded it MS62

 

looks like a 62/63 liner to me. I'm leaning towards 63.

 

sheesh, guys. he already gave the answer.
