I crumbled for this seated half
I've always liked darker, gunbarrel-gray coins with the devices highlighted by lighter toning, that classic two-tone look of original circulated silver coins. Even though this coin was priced $25-30 over standard retail pricing, I couldn't allow this seated half to get away. Hopefully it will be as nice in hand as it appears in these photos.

I prefer VF35-XF45 coins myself, but will buy lower grades if I'm struck by the coin's originality and look.
<< <i>I've been looking for one just like that. Nice piece that would fit well in the 7070 i'm trying to finish this year. Do you mind me asking what you paid? >>
It was a BIN on Ebay for $125. It was on Ebay and on my "to watch" list for 6 days. I thought the price was a bit high for a common date SLH, but the coin "kept nagging at me". I finally realized that I couldn't let such a nice coin get away for a measly $30 over book value.

<< <i>here is a nice seated half that closed earlier this month, went kinda cheap considering its a $6500 variety in the redbook.

I wonder if the dealer was playing games and bought the coin back. There is no feedback for the sale. You'd think the buyer would leave some positive feedback for such a sweet deal.
