I'd say AU-58. Nice Coin!

The detail looks close to MS with the surfaces being a bit of a concern. My guess would be grade of AU53.

i imagine the TPG did not like the marks that run across her chest area or some of the hits on the reverse as well.

I see wisps of luster in the mirrors and my first guess was MS-62 but if in fact the grader marked her down due to some of those hits

I say it netted AU-58

AU-58. I like the toning on the reverse.

AU58 I could even see this in a low grade MS holder up to MS62, that spot and the mark over the chest of Liberty probably keep it out of MS territory, I'm with dsfreeworld, he does know his Seated dimes and Half Dimes!

Sweet, lesson learned - always agree with dsfreeworld on tiny Seated coins!
