Seated Liberty Dollar Newp

I recently acquired this 1843 SLD as a type coin and couldn’t be more pleased. The surfaces have a nice layer of crust and really come alive under a light with notes of blue and orange and nice reflectivity in the fields. It’s hard to capture the look of this coin in photos as it varies greatly depending on lighting and angle, but the combination of the images below gives some idea of the coin’s appearance. Special thanks to @Crusty for educating and advising me on the series and helping me to pick a good one.

Very nice newp. The shields on the ob/reverse look sharp, too.

I don't think you could do much better for a type coin. Congrats!

I’m glad you pulled the trigger on her. 43 is considered a common date (If there is such a thing for LSDs) but they definitely don’t come looking like yours very often. The rims are perfect and the awesome crusty toning probably made it very easy for JA to place a sticker on her. Be careful LSDs are addicting..... Congrats!!!

Not a seated dollar guy because it seems so hard to buy nice ones. I can't think of a series that has more messed with coins (or just plain ugly ones) in straight graded holders. Your coin looks to be a pleasant exception! Congrats!
