Back to my well circulated coins. Too many shiny ones lately posted here. :p

I loooove the look of this one. I do like shiny and have a bunch, but something about these old worn ones just speaks to me.
It is straight graded...

    @Shane6596... That is a nice, evenly worn, old coin.... I like the looks of those - shows commerce and relates to history of the time. Cheers, RickO

    When I saw your coin I thought f-15 on the spot. That is because I own a coin identical to yours, only mine is the New Orleans version. Funny thing is, I have 5 other coins slabbed f-15.
    All those other coins have a faint but CLEAR Liberty. If your coin indeed turns out to be a f-15 I must wonder if there is something about the 1853's that makes a difference. James

    I'll have to polish up my grading skills on those, "Liberty" does not have to be complete.

    I think the obverse is a technical VG10, but the reverse and overall look gave it a nudge, so that’s why I guessed F12.

    You nailed it, the history, the stories. That's what draws me to the look.

    I do some metal detecting off and on, i would love to dig up an old coin like this or a civil war item. Everything i find is junk. The hunt is fun tho...
