Funny thing about some dirt coins is that you can almost grade based on the site found. This Seated dime came out of a railroad line camp and it is well documented that the camp moved off this site towards the end of 1882.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

For lack of a better term...coin looks "dry" to me? I would have to condition it...that's just me. How about a clear in focus close-up pic of the date? AU-55 F-102 or F-107? Cool coin! smat
That is tough one Adam. This summer in general has been amazing with 17 Seated coins and close to 40 Chinese Cash coins. But honestly probably one of the spills. Largest ever was 17 coins from 1910's thru 1930's. They just kept coming out of the hole one after another: 8 silver and 9 copper. Wish more people would loose all their $#!+ as opposed to just one at a time.
I think it could straight grade, may need a little love. AU-50 shot 53.
