Green on coin?
Yes, scan images, my apology that they are not more clear.
My coin and I take it around trying to sell it, I will hear "ugly coin" more than once. Not very many collectors want a coin this dark for their collection.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
"Ugly" applies to darkly toned coins without redeeming features. There are true view images that really bring out unique colors impossible to see with lesser imaging. Think of all the toned coins out there, many with iridescent colors and how attractive they are.
Green on coins (except ancients in some cases is NOT a desirable color. BTW, "ugly" applies to anything someone thinks is ugly. Please tell us the "redeeming features" on that coin? I'll settle for one.
PS If CAC is a free service, send it in. if not, save your money and their time.
Hard to see with the scanning; but excellent luster and the color does jump out.
Unless you consider Morgan dollars, various silver type coins and even some copper (such as Proof Indian cents) to be “ancients”, I strongly disagree with your statement that green is not a desirable color. Some will disagree with me and some will disagree with you.

Thanks for the correction! I cannot think of anyone who would disagree with your post (Ricko?).
Green is a color of the rainbow and can be very attractive. I should have posted that this type of green is associated with probable CORROSION of the surface under it. The green corrosion that is part of the rainbow toning is OK and even adds value to many folks as it does on ancients..
Attractive green toning does exist. (Seen more than a few Columbian halves with honest green toning on top of very nice luster. Think it had to do with how they were packaged at issue(?))
But that dime looks a whole lot more like PVC, or some other contamination or corrosion(?) (And I'll admit the picture may be lying to me).
It may be an attractive coin, but that's a definitively butt-ugly picture
The Toxic Avenger might be salivating over getting it for his type set, but Stevie Wonder had to look away
I actually turned a coin green like that by accident.
My fingerprints grew back surprisingly quickly 
This is one of those times I wish there were an option to click “like” AND “LOL”. Please consider it done, anyway.😉

I worked the holder hard with Maguire's Scratch-x, unfortunately it did not help that much.
Then you already know the grade! Now I love the beautiful sea-green toning. LOL.
I hope a major TPGS did not slab that coin w/o conservation.
Green is not that unusual for seated dimes. Above is an MS-66 on Gerry Fortin's site.
And here is an MS-64. (He might call this one "aquamarine").

On the close ups I may have pressed auto adjust...
Here are truer slab images.
Also cac approved.
Certain Green's are pretty on coins. I can't grade this coin from pic, but I'll bet in hand this coin is very pretty. JMHO.
Though not a coin that I would even consider, there are many who like tarnished coins like this one... I respect the collecting desires of all individuals....and I respectfully would leave this coin for those so inclined.
(Toxic Avenger?? Still laughing @CaptHenway ) Cheers, RickO
That was the Colonel, not the Captain!
There are three coins posted here. IMO, by the images the "green" area on the OP's coin is different from the other two.
Since NGC straight graded the coin, I must be mistaken! It is not the first time or the last but I would have that dull green thing conserved (minimally) so it was a more attractive silver-green piece.
Oooops.... So sorry @ColonelJessup .....Still laughing at the Toxic Avenger...Cheers, RickO
From one who is currently three years into pursuing this series it's an MS grade, although tough to say which one conclusively through the toning. I would agree that while your photo, or scan, is a bit lacking in clarity I suspect it would fail a CAC designation should you go that route. None the less, a specimen worth keeping.

I agree with @DIMEMAN that it probably looks better in hand.
It would have to..........
Wow... I guess photography skills and lighting come in handy!
I doubt it would CAC, but then again, I don't have the coin in hand...
