I'll start off by saying this isn't my coin but I wish it was. What do you think this Seated dime grades? What do you think of the toning?   |

AU-53. Can't speak for the toning though.

I'm also skeptical about the toning. Looks like it was "painted on" always a sign of artificial toning. If I didn't know any better I'd say a 7-year-old got some oil-crayons and pained the coin.

I'm not concerned about the toning; it's seen on these. Especially if it's one of the Proofs known for the date, which is what I'm leaning towards with this coin.

i'd say its most certainly a proof. that is a strongly struck coin and I do not see any wear on it. I am going PF63

The toning looks fine to me... Well, by fine I mean natural.... as well as stunning  . I'm not positive in the least but I'm leaning towards a proof as well, awesome coin! |

Toning like this makes it tough to tell what's a scratch and what's not a scratch!  |

I am not completely convinced it is a proof. I will let the seated experts chime in before I make an opinion.  |

Doesn't really have the look of a uncirculated coin to me. The pictures seem to show no luster. Maybe an impaired proof

That is one depressing auction. I can't afford one of those coins. LOL.

They sent another in 2013. These catalogs were hardback too. I didn't buy anything either time so I won't likely get any more, but I keep them on my bookshelf to look at from time to time. -MV |
