To me it looks like it was dipped in Tarn-X, no luster at all.

Thanks for the rotate info.
Thanks. I suspect in 141 years it has been dipped in quite a few things.

My comment is that the dime has been harshly cleaned. A good lesson is for you to Go to a coin shop or coin show and compare a similar dime in more original condition. This dime series of seated liberty is a great series for you to collect. It was a very important coin used a lot in its time.

Thank you. You guys or girls know way more than I do. Who cleans coins? Although I suppose they can be fairly nasty.#128516;

Many in the 1970's thought that blast white silver was what is collectable. When you clean with a chemical, it may remove the dirt and grime, but it removes a layer of metal. This layer is what makes a coins' Luster, or a Patina on it that means it is in an original state. These are what collectors, serious ones shoot for. I call it a "good skin", a natural progression of developing a toning according to circulation (if any), exposure to the elements and storage.
