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

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).

This isn't post dipped and retoned?

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?

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

grade would more in the line of 62.
