I am interested in getting opinions about the grade of this slabbed dime. I put a spoiler at the end of the post if you would like to see the TPG and assigned grade after you've come up with your own grade. Its white on white, so highlight between the two lines to see the text.   Other images that arae hopfully brighter.  
Spoiler: Highlight the area between these two lines to see the TPG and Grade ICG - MS61End Spoiler

These dark pics obscure the coin's surfaces and details. Can you show us brighter images?

I edited the original post to add a couple more pictures from my digital microscope. Hopefully those show better detail.
I need to get some better equipment for taking pictures.

The detail looks AU but the obverse appears cleaned. It is missing nearly all it's luster (obverse that is).

Images show almost no cartwheel luster. Does the coin have good cartwheel luster?

Good question. Looks like AU-55 sharpness to me, but the obverse here doesn't pair well with the reverse.

I compared it to a cleaned 1914 Barber Dime I posted about last week. This 1906 dime definitely has cartwheel luster in comparison to the 1914, which shows only a hint of luster in the outer lettering UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This 1906 dime has just a hint of toning in the lettering around "UNI" of UNITED and the word "OF". It also has a hint of toning on the reverse outer field near the rim at about 3 oclock. I understand that you can not appreciate any of that from the pictures. I would be interested to know where a couple of posters are observing wear on the coin. Also, I would agree that the front and back don't seem to pair well. The strike and detail on the reverse just seems more crisp than the obverse. |

MS62, no wear, but impaired luster. Does not appear to be cleaned in the 1st set of photos.
