Nice, I'll have to buy one of these for my 7070 but they seem really expensive, especially in higher grades.

Seems like a good price. I've never owned a double dime but like the looks of that one.
Nice pick up.

What a gorgeous coin. Mind sharing the grade, for those lazy among us who haven't mined Teletrade results?
Not that I'm lazy, but....

MS-62. I'll take some photos once I get it. They've shipped it already.

My first impression was of an overgraded slider but I am not sure. The legs appear to dull when it rotates under the light. However, I see this in other areas as well, and have seen this on other unc coins in the past so I don't know if this is just 'luster scuffing' or a 'toning issue' as opposed to rub.
I will post pictures, and I would appreciate if you guys helped me with this, because the return fee is $50 on this coin (rip off) and I want to avoid that any way I can if possible. But I don't want to crack it if there's a serious chance it is AU-58.
Then again, I do not know if I am just seeing things, and this is typical with these, or something.

A 62 is often given to nice looking slider but with the toning it's really a tough call from the images.
My first thought would be why isn't it a 63? You got a good price so if the eye appeal is good, I'd hang onto it.

Slider is a coin that has a tiny bit of wear on the highest points from being slid in and out of albums, hence the term. There seems to be a bit of debate in some circles whether they should considered AU since they probably have never actually circulated, though.

From the CCF Glossary: sliderA term used to describe an AU coin that looks, or can be sold as, Uncirculated. Occasionally used as a reference to another grade; a slider EF coin, for example, would be a VF/EF coin that is nearly EF. |

Great looking purchase and one really beautiful coin. I actually like coins with natural toning and I will usually buy one like that rather then a white coin.

I kept it because of what the people above said. The eye appeal is great.
