I'm looking for a '59 Seated dime and this one looks nice [to me]. I'm not familiar with this series, which is why I'm asking y'all about this one. I'm afraid it's cleaned but the rest of the details appear good. It's a type/date collection. Is this in the right price range for a coin of this caliber?

It is genuine, and it has been lightly cleaned. Of more concern are a number of dings including a big one to right of Ms. Liberty's arm and few more near her leg. If you are looking for a type coin, you can do much better. It's way over priced at $119.95. Gray Sheet bid in EF, which this piece isn't, is $42.

Here is one that used to be in my collection. It's an AU+. NGC called it Mint State after I bought it raw and had it graded.

That's a nice coin, billjones. I'm also looking for a coin that's 1859. Right now everything I'm buying has to be '09 or '59. Just an added quirk.
Rest in Peace

The obverse of this dime is all marked up . the coin is definitely cleaned .
This is not that 59 that you want .

EF-45 details (cleaned) and way overpriced.

Thanks to everybody who contributed with this. I agree this is not the coin I'm looking for.
