Whoa!! That 1857 is awesome! So hard to find an 1857 with a fully struck head. Most come bald. She is really nice on strike and also toning. Congratulations!
Purchased for the Dansco from JJTeaparty over 30 years ago. It currently occupies the with motto slot, as I subsequently got an 1840, but I can’t bear to part with it:

I only have two for type, and neither one is great. I really wanted a Proof for the No Motto type, and the options are limited since the first Proofs were made on a regular basis in 1858. I also have a Gobrecht Dollar, but that probably does not count.
I can never the mirrors to come up on these things ...
Here's an angle shot. This is graded PR-64.
Here is the other one, which is an PR-63, CAM.

@BillJones I really like that PR64. The second picture really shows off the mirrors and beauty of your coin. Any proof or circulation strike from the civil war era is a treasure in my book! Congratulations!
Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

My second favorite series.

Very pretty double sided toner you have there....a real beauty.
What's she graded?
Here's the only one I own.

What's your favorite series out of curiosity?
Thank you @Goldbully. She is a PCGS MS64 CAC.
Your 1860-O has a great strike.
I love the 1849. Such an underrated date in the series. Took me a long time to find my 1849 and it is one of my favorite coins.
Nothing amazing, but fits my budget for this type of coin.

I like this 1847. Consistent color, clean fields, solid strike. I would be proud to have this in any collection!
Very nice coins on here.
Mine were sourced primarily for the Dansco 7070 and is meh!!! at best. The 1872 is holed and plugged and the 1860 is a VG 8.

First West Coast dollar, an informal trade coin, mintage of 20,000, and one of only about four currently known chopmarked specimens.

A relatively mark-free G6 1846. Amazingly well-preserved, undinged surfaces for a coin that's seen a lot of wear.
@Crusty
Some nice coins posted here!

Beautiful coins! I'll toss in a NM and a W/M.

THIS!!!!!!
Wow! To have one in collection and it is an 1856, that is quite impressive!
Fabulous! That may be the best toning I have ever seen on a circulated seated dollar. Need to wipe drool from corners of my mouth!
Wow! stars in my eyes on this. She's a keeper!
I own only two as part of my Type Sets, and I love them both:
1. 1865 PR64+CAM w/CAC;
2. 1868 PR64CAM w/CAC.

Just sold this one, no photo of my favorite.
These big coins are pretty cool and hard to come by in decent shape. Here is a fairly crusty 1841 in XF-40
