Seemly to put notes with coin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decent

'seemly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'notes with coin' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'de' (two musical notes).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'coin' becomes 'cent' (cent is a kind of coin).
'de'+'cent'='DECENT'

'to put' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for decent that I've seen before include "Kind, obliging or generous" , "Honest and modest" , "Polite - fitting" , "Modest and respectable" , "Generous or modest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
