$0.10 1869-S Seated Liberty Dime 10c - PCGS UNC Details (Questionable Color)

A very nice coin, and not well-served by the PCGS Questionable Color holder it resides in (Cert. No. 40338844), I do not question the color of the coin at all.  Rather, I suspect the graders called it into question because the surfaces of the coin look a little "off".  That the surfaces look odd is understandable, as most 1869-S dimes possess a different look.  The reverse in particular looks odd because the die which struck this coin was pickled to clean it up before being put into service.

Sharply executed, with relatively clean surfaces and light lavender and blue color over average luster, in my estimation this coin is an MS63 and  should be graded again.  I may submit again when turnaround times are reasonable, but not at this time. 

For now, please consider this a Raw offering, still accompanied by our 14 day return privilege.
