If anything, the second pic makes the coin look cleaned.

Yes, it went from high circ (XF40?) to BB for cleaning.

No hard feelings, but it did get worse...sorry.

So, what did Sacks have to say anyway.?

Which picture is closer to what the coin looks like in hand?

If it is picture 1 I would be very wary of buying the dime. If it is 2 I would give it some thought. Picture 1 makes the coin look like a cleaned/dipped slug. Picture 2 shows the circulation the coin has and just possibly what the coin would look like if it was purchased. As far as changing the grade I think number 2 would make the coin more desireable.

Now, which picture is closer to what the coin looks like in hand?

I think #2 looks closer, Stacks did not call the coin cleaned and if it is then it us retoning well. I do feel it is a bit on the bright side. May submit it to see what the pros say.

VF20?

I am way off on my ability to grade seated type coins.
