I have put together over the years a nice 1889 Proof Set in honor
of the man who initially got me interested in coin collecting, my
Grandfather.
I gave this collection to my Dad for his 80th birthday over a dozen years ago;
over the last few years, I have upgraded a coin or two and tonight I was the
lucky bidder on the Eliasberg 1889 Dime.

Just an observation. At a quick glance, the 1863 Eliasberg dime seems to have toning not unlike the Seated coin in the other recent thread where a like toning pattern was called by most dipped/messed with/non-original etc. I thought it was ""mostly" original but not totally.
Best wishes, and nice coins and collecting motivation! I used to collect Seated proofs and they are beautiful little art, especially those with strong cameo contrast.

I hope to have it by next week end too - but - I doubt it.
