New Barber Dime-Opinion Sought--Update with grade posted!

Currently in an ICG MS62 holder and has a nice rainbow colors around the rim. I can see hairlines under a loupe on the cheek, lower jaw and neck. I think they can be seen ok on the photo Im using. Do you think I should be worried that it has been cleaned or whizzed at some point or would they be typical for the grade? Will it cross? Will it get back in a holder if cracked out? I did the best I could on the photo. Thanks in advance for the opinions!

Not whizzed, should slab Ok anywhere - but at what grade level, well that's always a coin toss (pun intended). At a minimum, AU58 - which is sometimes a great grade to get, with the prices some of those bring.
Nice coin regardless of the holder/grade.
I think it would regrade to 61 or 62. But there is still the risk of a no grade. In the holder it's currently in, it gets graded raw by most any dealer (ie ignore the assigned grade).
Most of them will drop it to 61 just "because."
The hairlines seem evident on the cheek, and without an inhand inspection,
I can't say if those are faint slide marks from an old Whitman Bookshelf Album.
I feel that the coin(s) should be submitted raw. Even if they get downgraded to AU 58
(which they won't because they are clearly MS) they are better off in a PCGS holder rather
than another Third World holder.
Good luck and I look forward to your "good news" !

Not good news for the ICG haters. Very nice! And buying it for $133 was a good deal!

Sweet congrats! I don't think it has ever been cleaned. The reverse is very nice. As for the obv, I would have cracked it out, set it on my bathroom window sill obv up for a couple of months and then submitted it. A few of the hairlines would have toned over. Congrats.
