Common but pretty- 1876-cc dime

Picked this coin up last month on eBay. There's nothing scarce about the 1876-cc dime. However, it's not so easy to find any Carson City minted coin with this kind of eye appeal besides common Morgans. Although my camera doesn't really pick it up, the coin has about 50% remaining luster. I'd guess it will make AU55 at PCGS, but I'm not sure it will make the cut for my next submission due to its low dollar value in AU grades. I also picked up an AU55-58 1875-cc (below bow) in the same transaction, but it didn't photograph so well, so I'll refrain from posting it for now.

Thanks for pointing that out! I noticed some faint doubling on the obverse legend, but I thought it was probably Longacre doubling. I will have to check it out on Gerry Fortin's web book. Now I think the coin may be worth submitting with variety attribution.
Looks cleaned and re-toned to me. AU Details.
Well, I respectfully disagree about the cleaning. I've been submitting Seated and Bust coins to PCGS successfully for 15+ years, and my only doubt on this one would be if they call it "questionable color."

I'm not very respectful about it. Lovely fresh original coin with gem color
Now this dime was cleaned (and retoned by me, in an old wooden drawer, for a few years. It was in a bulk purchase for ~$45).
