Quote:Why are so many Seated dimes toned? Seated dimes are anywhere from 123 to 177 years old and they're made of silver which is very reactive to the elements. Truth is if it's not toned it's been cleaned or almost certainly dipped at some time. |

Very nice Cruisinfusion. I really love anything seated with original surfaces like that half. That AU53 or AU55 maybe? I wish I could get my avatar updated so yours. I've tried several times and never heard a peep back.

Thank you! It's a PCGS AU-50, I assume from lack of luster. I traded it with another CCF Member here a few months ago. Just create a new topic titled "Avatar Request" and upload your image here, they'll change it for ya! http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=20 |

Thought I'd pull this thread up, dust it off, and post my latest Seated dime. Only been about three years of searching for an 1885 S that I could afford, and, although she was handled a mite rough during the time she spent out there bouncing from pocket to pocket, to me she's still a beauty, and a welcome addition to my set. The scan leaves a lot to be desired, but the fault there lies with the man, and not the machine.   |

I just picked this up last night - sorry for the very late post !! I only have a few Seated coins - but I think this one will fit my 1891 Mint Set nicely !    |

Wow, that's a beauty Elbesaar, love the toning. I think I'd forgot about this thread.
