Seated Half Post!!!

Nobody ever posts seated halves. (Plus, I'm bored.)

NGC AU-50:


PCGS AU-55:


Which do you like better?

Nice images, what kind of camera set up?

I like to call it the "Hit and Miss" setup.

I have a Nikon "Coolpix" 4200, a small tripod, and a desk lamp.

I'm slowly figuring out how to use it. Biggest step forward was when I learned how to set it for incandescent light.....My coins look much less yellow now.

Tom - I prefer NGC 1858, but I'm a tone freak.

Killer half dollars - very nice!

My personal favorite

I like them both, although they are totally different (one toned and one almost all-white) and if I had to choose I'd take the NGC.

Here is my example:

That it is!!

(On the other hand, not as rare as I thought....I was looking at the dollar listing in my price guide. LOL )

It IS just a tad more scarce than an 1878-S Morgan........ Look again grasshopper

I prefer the NGC coin.
Below is a 1861-O.....I thought it might at least AU50 when I submitted it.

I like the NGC coin best. I really like the light toning around the edges.

I too like the look of the 1858.

I'm trying to put together a set of these puppies...very difficult to find pleasing...but I sure do love them. Here are a few of mine...

Here are a few of my seated halves, the 1844, the 1855 with the arrows, and the 1888



(a few other type halves thrown in for good measure)

note the strike difference on these same issue. The pcgs 64 detail lost on top of head and stars compared to the pcgs 45.
