Patience is a virtue...first newp in two months!

I've been having problems finding stuff I want for my type collection (without paying stupid money for it).

The drought is over. Here's the newest addition which I should be receiving shortly; it appears to be almost fully lustrous with a nice light golden sheen to it:

1854-O Seated Liberty Half, NGC AU-58

    Thanks. I'm hoping it looks as nice as the picture. Looks like a nice gentle champagne-colored sheen over nice lustrous surfaces with maybe a little rosy color thrown in on the obverse near the stars. It seems surprisingly mark-free, too. These coins are often pretty overpriced because of type coin pressures but this one wasn't much more than a no-arrows type coin, and this is much nicer than most I've seen to boot.

    I've been sitting around letting cash accumulate for two months, passing on a lot of marginal coins and not bidding stupid money for others. It's nice to find a good one at a reasonable price once in a while. image

    Your two months of waiting was worthed. Great looking 1854-O Seated Liberty Half, NGC AU-58. I'm saving up for a MS or PR 60-63 grade seated half dollar. Very soon I will be getting one.

    Now that's the way to get a new coin! Beautiful. I've been looking for a seated quarter/half with a look similar to that for a while. It's next on my hit list to get next year.
  • I like it!
