There is a murcury dime that I saw at a coin shop today and it is listed as ms 60. It looks like a nice coin, common date, but it has a very light gold looking luster. Is this uncommon or is it just a sign that its been cleaned? It has some minor marks. Thanks

Tough to tell without pictures. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it's probably just toning. Toning on silver can cover the entire rainbow, including gold or yellow.

As noted without a photo, would be a guess. And agreed, might just be toning.

When asking such questions, try to note the date, mint mark, if in a slab or flip. How much is the dealer asking.

Have you read the Uploading Photos tutorial?

If so and size is the issue, try the Free Image Optimizer.
