Nice coin

WTCG

Coin looks fine to me.

So, the toning being absent in the fields but very apparent all around the fields is original? Specifically, the obverse field under "OF AMERICA"?

I do not have an image host account so not able to crop and re-post. Sorry.

The toning looks o.k., but what about all the bumps? My guess is rusted obverse die....or is it just my monitor?

I'm still a newb at 10k posts.

This isn't post dipped and retoned?

I was going to ask that same question. Looks like the bumps on a Lincoln that have those trapped gas bubbles, from a defective planchet. But, seeing how it's 90% silver, could it be from that? Though, we DO see it on other silver coins from that era, and it IS caused by rusted dies. My first thought was, 'It looks like those Lincolns with the trapped gas bubbles', but given it's silver, wasn't sure if that was possible. COULD that happen to a silver coin, or is it always a matter of rusted dies, when that bubbling appears (if a rusted die, they can't be gas bubbles)????

Big picture! Get Photobucket etc.
Rusted dies (recall as "common" on CC mint?)
Looks dipped and with natural old retone IMO

What is going on with the right field - the seeming depression and the mangled elbow/knee?

Absolutely it is

So that odd area is rust, late die state and/or die fatigue?

Cool coin, rusted die, no line fatty....

imo, the toning looks like old, post-dip album color. Nice!

Minimal tarnish... overall nice coin....Cheers, RickO

Post dip sulfur retoned.

the 76-cc dime is known to be plagued with rusted dies. See this example from the gardner collection

After seeing the Gardner coin I can't imagine a grade of 67. My
grade would more in the line of 62.

Gas bubbles? Not a chance as these are not plated like the zincolns. The OP's coin was made with rusted dies. Very common. Toning is nice and
original. Does not look dipped. I think it is an MS coin. I see no circulation patterns (look at her head).
