Hope y'all like them! 1863 is a year you don't see too often for the seated halves.

    Tough date on the half!

    I like the look on the quarter too ... pretty wholesome ... nice rev crack to boot

    Nice coins and the half is especially attractive.

    I agree - very nice half, and looks to be more like an XF45....but I'd rather have one looks under graded in a holder than over graded!

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    63 half dollars are tough.

    I "think" it is the 68, 62 then 63 for the toughest of the 60 halves

    Nice looking coins, question on the reverse of the quarter.

    ARe those die cracks on the top of ITE on united. And below the d in DOL. ?
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    That quarter is laced with die cracks, adds some flavor to it for sure. That along with the circulated cameo look grab me. It's tough to find examples in the Seated series that haven't been messed with.

    both are great coins. The half looks just like an original coin should simply a perfect example for the grade.

    I LOVE the look of that half!

    I'm accumulating Seated Halves with effectively that same exact look.
