steel-blue, light bronze-gold toning!! what a wonderfully original piece! Tyhe toning is subtle and bold at the same time while not robbing the luster on the obverse devices

1861 25C XF40 PCGS #5454

like the capped bust dime the sight of the coin immediately grabbed me. literally, a no-brainer purchase!

deceptively difficult to find this original and in the grade and common date I sought, this is a type collector dream coin! Civil War date is always a plus, but it is the way that the dirt and toning which gets into the dress folds that adds depth to the appearance. Thank you Alex Barna, for finding this special piece!
