Every time I see photos of that Bust Dollar, it reminds me how incredibly rare it is for any silver coin from the 18thc. US to be kept in such a state of preservation. It must have been a presentation piece, I think, to have been handled so reverently.
The SLD looks perfect to me. I appreciate your posting the photos for the enjoyment & education of all of us!

That's a nice, warm looking Seated dollar ... wow!
Now, that 1795 is another story. Okay, it looks like one of two things happened:
1. You convinced Ron Landis to sell you a newly minted, "perfect" 1795 reproduction without the COPY stamp and you scuffed it up just a bit, or; 2. You finally invented that time machine and bought it directly from the press operator in 1795 Philadelphia.
