It's a Mercury Dime...so I can't call it ugly. Just the prettiest toning I have seen.
I normally like the pre-1934 mercury dimes ... but not that one. Eye-appeal is poor.
She's not going to win any beauty contests.
What is your strategy? Dip? MS70? Acetone?
Nice coin under all that poo poo.

I would leave that example for someone else. Tarnish has eaten through the luster layer and in my book, that's a damaged coin.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
It's not horribly ugly, but not nice-looking either.
It's not bad in my opinion. I'll bet it's high grade too.

Very ugly tarnish... not sure how badly the surface of the coin has been affected... dipping could make it worse.

OTOH... it could reveal a lustrous beauty..... Decisions, decisions.... Send it to me, I am good at decisions.
Everything Ricko stated is factual and acurate. Even so. . . why is it I kind of like it?

Just sent it to Ricko so that he can take care of it.
