1911 Barber Dime

From the pictures provided, I do not believe that this coin is uncirculated. I have seen many PCI coins that I felt were not graded accurately. The company seems to be better now than it used to be, but I don't know when this coin was graded.

I also feel that the area in the 9 and other devices could be residue of some kind, probably from cleaning. The toning could be quite attractive. I'm pretty sure the image in this auction are scans, not digital photographs. That would make the toning appear more gray and not show the colors well if it is rainbow.

All in all, I would not have paid more than $50 for this coin. Even then, I would be choosing to take a chance that this coin is much more attractive than in the images.

Yes, but....there were a couple generations of the old green slabs. The original generation used a Futura-style typeface; later versions used a different style and, with new ownership, less-stringent grading. Here's the "original" PCI label:



The auction linked here is for an original PCI slab. Like Susan, I have my reservations about the coin. Unlike her, though, I'd have risked $90 on it.
