I just won a bit on e-bay for a 1892 AU-Details cleaned/scratched (it has someone's initials in it!) for only $3.50!

ChildOfTheWheat,
I hope you're enjoying coin collecting. I'm not sure how experienced a collector you are. I've been collecting for 30 years.
The most important thing I've learned is to avoid buying coins that I may not enjoy owning later, or that I might have difficulty selling later. I ask myself these questions before every coin purchase, and these questions have served me well.
The price you paid for your dime was a bargain for the grade, and if you're in it for the novelty of it (graffiti), then it may be well suited for a specialized collection, and the questions I proposed may not apply.
Happy collecting!
