I bought this from SeaEagleCoins at the Philly show, I think about an hour after Larry bought it. I don't collect seated halves...but... have you ever seen a coin and just HAD to have it? I really love dark Seated Halves, and this isn't exactly a common date.
I bought it raw and ended up submitting it to PCGS at Coinfest, it came back as an XF40, I bought it as a VF35+. My pics stink as usual, looks much nicer in hand. This might be my favorite coin.

It's so rewarding buying raw and slabbing your own favorites, especialy nice when they come back better than expected.

It's that eye appeal speaking to you! Go with it.
