This is one slab I don't have to worry about!

Yes, old reliable PCGS. I don't care if it's an old school holder or a brand new one. Dependability! I couldn't believe what I paid on top of it. Just any coin in an PCGS old school holder, is worth the money. Toning to boot. Love it. Not the best looker but still vintage.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. 🤠
But as you noted, not the best looker.
Despite what many say here,"Buy the coin, not the holder." I did the opposite. I bought it BECAUSE of the holder. Call me strange,right? Lol.

Im a big fan of affordable coins in rattlers too. Very cool!
I bet under the right light the toning looks alright.
Collector, occasional seller
i wish i had that
Looks like there is a crack at the top, better send it in for a reholder.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
imaging toned coins in direct sunlight light like that will make the toning appear dead flat and unappealing.
i do like toned coins in rattlers, especially for modest toning price.
I wonder what this months copy of The Holder Collectors Journal says about it
@joeykoins ---Are you aware that the first generation PCGS slab (rattler) was counterfeited? That is why PCGS brought out the doily style slab with enhanced security features.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.There are very, very few holders for which this statement is true. NGC black? Yes. PCGS Regency? You got it. PCGS doily? Not going to argue. PCGS white-label rattlers? Yeah. Regular old rattler? Nope. The holder is far too common, especially with appealing coins, to make a sweeping statement that a coin should be purchased regardless of the coin inside.
I love how a rattler makes it feel as if you’re able to get a bit closer to the coin compared to a modern holder. I hate the rattle as it always makes me feel as if the coin is getting damaged, though I know it isn’t. I also don’t like how it feels as if a rattler will instantly shatter if dropped on a hard surface. But overall rattlers are pretty cool.
I feel more at ease holding a rattler than an old ANACS. They're so tiny in hand.

JMHO, I can understand if you want an old rattler for its nostalgia, but there are quite a few out there. a better course may have been to be patient and wait for a rattler that encapsulates a much nicer coin. trust me, that will make you happier in the end although it might cost a little more.
Nice!
I do not collect slabs, however, many people do....also, I am not a fan of tarnish...but many people like it. That being said, I can sense you are quite excited by this acquisition. Great, that is what the hobby is all about. Have fun.... Cheers, RickO

IS THIS THE SAME COIN?
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Personally I’m not a fan of the coin and old holders do very little for me, but it’s hard going wrong spending $15 on a silver coin. Heck, I had lunch today at the kosher deli and spent more money on a corned beef sandwich.
I love seeing some of the "more seasoned" members carping on a member's $15 buy, that he bought for the holder.
The coin, from the photos, does nothing for me either, and I got out of "needing"/"wanting" rattlers a few years ago, but, far be it from me to look down on anyone else's discretionary income buy, particularly when it is that low, for something they like.
Hell, I've spent $75-$100 on a "impulse - just for fun" coin purchase and I really didn't/don't care if anyone else liked it or not.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I like your enthusiasm and love for this hobby. You never seem to let the opinion of others ruin your day and you remain positive. I’m glad your on this site, your bring a smile to it.
Keep it coming !
Nothing wrong with collecting what you want and what you enjoy.
Heck, when I was a kid we collected swizzle sticks and match books, even baseball cards.
Although there is no way to tell for sure, looks like the coin could have possibly came from an original mint set, although I do not really care to much for the toning, I would have also bought it for $15.

Thanks guy's! Yeah, I know the coin itself has seen better days, still wondering how and why PCGS graded it a 66? Just noticed though, when I twisted the coin in a certain direction, the beautiful tone came out! Totally, changed the coin's appearance when I did that. From my standpoint, coin in hand, the darn thing actually looked pretty good. Lol. Oh well, thanks to all again.

Same here
I like it. I suspect the pics negatively reflect on the actual coin (especially the largest view). I suspect the luster and toning is much better in hand. I am not a fan of most of the OP's selections, but on this one, I think you did very well on an old school MS66.
Great pickup! Nice original dime, in a classic holder.
Dave
Personally I think the pics are not doing this coin any favors. I’ll bet it looks MUCH better than the pics let on.
It must, to have a 66 on it. Cool pick up!
Actually, that statement is false for the premium holders you cite. The coin is not worth the money. The holder is. All the coin does is make the holder more expensive if it happens to be nice. The OP coin in an NGC black holder would sell for over $100, but it's still a $15 coin, uncollectible as what it is.

Joey,...what slabs DO you worry about? And why?
"If you buy what you like, at a price you can afford at the time, then things will be easier. If you buy what other people like, borrow to fund it and expect multiple of return, then you are likely to be unhappy. Bongo say nearly everything depreciates over time. Bongo would not pay $500 for a silver bell this Christmas and expect it to be worth $550 next year, but Bongo knows a Silver Bell is not old coin. Or is it? Bongo maybe not surprised that old coin is like any other limited non essential commodity and subject to the whims of taste and market. Put the coin in book and enjoy it. If it is worth more when you come to sell it, well done. If not, then you have had enjoyment out of it. Remember that old coin is only worth a few dollars in physical material value – This is why value is an esoteric concept in many ways and it may be vulgar to assign any monetary value to old coin unless you are a Russian Oligarch or Chinese shoddy goods factory owner."
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground
Ex Mrs Bongo leave Bongo in perilous financial position
Bongo small pomme de terre also need redecoration
Bongo has secret things that ex Mrs Bongo covets
Bongo hurtles along the rain soaked highway of life on underinflated bald retread tires"
I bet it looks better in hand and it is housed in a nice old slab. I could think of a lot worse ways to spend 15 bucks. It’s $15.....there is so little risk here, anyway.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

I’ve taken the wife to Starbucks, spent $15 bucks and not gotten anything for myself MANY times. A rattler with a dime I liked would be amazing any day.
