Let's talk coins! Just started a new set - it's not very full but it's got some pictures:

I guessed right! I saw the title and thought Seated Dollars would be the next set you would collect. Great start too!

I thought I would practice adding images here. Most of what I have need to be resized to be under the 50kb limit. That's why this one is a little fuzzy. But, I'll keep practicing and get better.

TDN: Two very different but equally wonderful coins! Who cares if your set is not full or for that matter just a newby set? It keeps you humble just the rest of us!

And that my friend, makes it fun for all of us!

<p>

There is no greater joy than the excitement of beginning a new coin set!!

Damn......eer Dam.....the relief on your 1861 coin is incredible! Miss Liberty practically seems to want to jump out and wants and hug everyone!!!! WOW!!!!!

Now we will have to start calling tradedollarnut to seateddollarsane.

Beautiful coins you have there. Nice Start to a Nice Set!

DAM · November 28, 2003 5:02AM

So far my favorite is your 1853. How close are the colors to the image?

dpoole · November 28, 2003 5:23AM

Neat series, TDN! Nice going!

tradedollarnut · November 28, 2003 5:41AM

Thanks, guys!

The 1853 image is almost exact to the coin - warm golden centers graced by electric blue peripheries. Stunning! And very rare [and underrated] as well - even Eliasberg didn't have a proof 1853 seated dollar....

Sorry I can't open it up yet, but this one is progressing as well:

MS Seated Dollar Set

If you take a short walk around the block you can see the details....

Here's the reverse of the 1853 [I wish the Set Registry allowed two images]:

Fairlaneman · November 28, 2003 6:15AM

Put it in there.....

tradedollarnut · November 28, 2003 6:30AM

Done. Thanks, Ken!

DAM · November 28, 2003 6:31AM

Hey Ken, your getting good at this.

Fairlaneman · November 28, 2003 6:44AM

TDN had them all set up correctly. All I had to do is put them side by side for him. Heck the coin is way to pretty not to have both sides showing.

oreville · November 28, 2003 8:02AM

I thought the image would be too large to have both the obverse And reverse side by side?

grip · November 28, 2003 10:33AM

TDN
That 1853 is one hell of a coin.

tradedollarnut · November 28, 2003 11:22AM

For those of you just delving into the seated dollars, here's a little tidbit - the 1853 is the sneaky key to the proofs. A very difficult coin!

solid · November 28, 2003 12:59PM

AWESOME start to a very cool set!!! Glad you are having more fun than one
guy can stand and are sharing it here with us!

TDN: Nice change of pace!! I suspect there are still pockets of great "value" in the 19th century material, like the collection you are undertaking now?

TDN,

Great start to the set. Those coins are gorgeous! Keep us informed as you acquire new pieces. A lot of us love to see pics of coins that we'll probably never own ourselves, but appreciate the beauty and rarity.
