I'm with supgog on this MS62 that would possibly hit a MS63 for appeal!

I will go ms-63, definite candidate for a 64 if it weren't for the marks on the obverse field.. I definetly see some doubling in dime and also on the obverse there seems to be a die crack? or scratch from the T in states to the right arm. All in all that is one Superb example of a Seated dime hands down and love the album toning.. I'm curious how long it took to get to this color

Thanks guys. Just wondering what kind of additional bonus would be standard over regular price for this kind of eye appeal?

Eye appeal cannot be quantified by a number. But it makes a coin stand out from others identically graded. It is the kind of coin which makes most dealers say 'wow!'
That being said, it should be valued at a full bid price. Perhaps a bit more. Compare your dime to the hundreds of MS-70 coins of modern issue. Are there hundreds of 1876-CC dimes available? Which of the two will hold value over time?

Zx, IMO, you can absolutely tag a premium on this coin to the right buyer and tone lover. And that number is quantifiable with research. Where I would not compare a 19th century Carson City mark to a modern day MS70, what you can do is scour the auction archives online for the similarities of grade, locate any monster toners within that grade and get an idea from there. You'll want to start with the series itself and narrow down various issues based on rarity rating. This coin is not so unique that a good research expedition won't yield a level of results and a general idea of how the market reacts in an auction setting to the toning.
