I own a less impressive example of this type coin, which resided in my father's boyhood collection and was give to him by his grandfather and has probably been in the family around 100 years.
Today, I had the opportunity to make a substantial upgrade. Thank you to John A for working with me on the unusual terms for this purchase. I may not be seeing the coin for a while, due to the terms, but I am excited to eventually have it.
Guess the coin!
Here's the inventory link.

Let me guess the unusual terms: Must cross to PCGS and get a sticker from the other JA.

This would have been my guess too.

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Kindly send the seated dime to [Longacre's undisclosed location].

This would be my guess as well. Since its not CAC'd, im guessing you spoke to John about it first.

That said, a lot of coins that were mentioned have been considered, and one has even been at my house for a short visit.

For you, LA, a 3rd guess is okay.

Winner!!!
My dad had one in his boyhood collection, which resides in my 7070, but is not as attractive as the one in the CRO inventory.
The "unusual terms" are that I offered to pay for the coin now and receive it when I order something else down the road. It seems like a waste of postage, paper, etc. to ship it.
The "record setting" clue was that it was the least expensive coin I can recall ever having seen in the CRO inventory. It was listed at $125.
I hope I'm wrong, though. I hate Seated Dimes.
Edited to say that I guess I guessed too late!
