My first Liberty Seated Dollar - Grade?

nesvt

It's my first. Bought it raw. In hand, you can barely make out pieces of the last digit. I think there's enough to see that it's not an '0' or '1'. That's leaves 1859-O.

Opinions? Grade?

That SOB has seen some time in commerce.

Dang it that piece could talk, we'd here stories about all kinds of fun times around the Big Easy in the

second half of the 19th century. WOW.

Thanks. I was wondering if it would make PO1. Maybe if I get a freebie with my current submission, I'll send it in.

Show that piece to Tom DeLorey, he carries a very similar one around with him.

PCGS will probably bodybag it for scratches.

Numismatics

Poor 1.

"PCGS will probably bodybag it for scratches."


The chance of that happening is about the same as it being graded MS70. Send this in and the graders ought to stand up and applaud the coin for its incredible, honest originality.

Could PCGS be certain of the date?

"Could PCGS be certain of the date? "

There are only three dates that had an O mint mark -- 1846, 1859 and 1860. That fraction of a number in the third spot obviously isn't a 4 or a 6, so yes, they could be certain of the date.
