It's photoshopped out, the pixellation in that area is different.

It has been about 15 years since the Liberty Seated Collector Club stopped supporting an open web based board for the general discussion of Seated coins. My first thoughts were that some of the advanced collectors might start a new board of their own. That didn't happen. I then made an effort on my own part to generate talk about Seated coins on Coin Chat and this site but very few people responded.
I recently discovered that the My Collect site has a dormant discussion board for Seated coins. The site lists a membership of around 150 people. It is my suspicion that there are about 145 dealers with a Seated coin in their inventory and thought: "Why not?"
Starting this month I am going to do the following things on the My Collect Seated site. I am going to pose a general question every few weeks and then spend a few days in discussion with anyone who cares to visit. I am going to post a coin from my collection every so often and explain why I chose it. Finally I am going to hope that there are like minded collectors out there that wish to both share their coins, their collecting experiences and their hopes and aspirations for the future.
Thank you for letting me post this on your site. I will remain an active member of this board but would also like to take advantage of this unique opportunity. James

@seatedlib3991 a great idea! I'm a fellow seated collector so will post a seated coin from the collection to get us started.

“Needed” this for my “box of 100”. Moving away from series collecting, to more of just a “cool coin, gotta have it” approach. As I get older, it seems to just make more sense. It’s funny, I’ve never been a large cent collector, but in my top 5 favorite coins in my collection, I think 3 of them are large cents. Anyway, I needed a classic head cent, and this came up… beautiful gloss, very few ticks, and a nice mottled chocolate appearance. Liking it a lot.

Not just my favorite coin in my collection, but also my favorite US coin issue, period. Nothing as iconic and historic, IMO.

Last week I got pulled over on I-95 for driving without my seatbelt. The policeman approached my car, and asked if I knew why he pulled me over, and I replied, “No sir”. He said I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt. I replied that I was wearing it, but when I pulled over, I removed it to be able to pull out my wallet, to retrieve my license and registration. He shook his head, then looked at my wife. He said, “Ma’am, you have an honest face. Was your husband wearing his seatbelt when I pulled him over?” She replied, “I make it a policy to never argue with my husband when he’s been drinking!”
