That 1871 dollar is a tough act to follow!

Everyone who is a seated fan, especially a seated quarter fan owes it to themselves to take a look at Gerry Fortin's blog, which today starts the offering of the Iowa Collection, Doug's beautiful, original, near complete set of seated quarters, all graded by our hosts, and nearly all Cac'd.

Here's just one example, PC20:

I don't post to this thread very often. As a type collector, there's only so many Seated coins to pursue. I once found an 1861 quarter in a lot of junk silver I bought several years ago when getting back into the hobby. It was my introduction to the entire Seated series and the Civil War date has always fascinated me.

Finding a nice one in an MS grade has been a back-burner project for several years. Most that I see are uninteresting, priced too high, have issues, or are generally "not right." This one showed up at Rare Coins of New Hampshire lately and I pulled the trigger. In-hand, it did not disappoint.

barberkeys

BryceM - Really nice, well worth the wait.

I have to get this one TrueViewed. I just love thinking about the history it participated in.

NewP from JJ Teaparty. 1887-P, PCGS MS64. Not for the toning fans, but it's a real blazer.

That reverse is NIIIIIIIICE! You can see the texture of the IGWT ribbon, damn!

rhedden

It's a nicely struck coin for sure. The late date P-mints that have low mintages (1879-1889) are usually well struck, as you'd expect. This one is housed in an old, solid blue label holder.

barberkeys

Ron - Nice blazer.

1630Boston

I am pretty sure that I posted this before, but heck...I have less than 50 coins in my collection now so I will post this again, with new [my own] pics.

barberkeys

1630Boston - Your half dime has so much eye appeal, it deserves more than one showing.

The Holy Grail:

Cary - A friend of mine has seen the one that belonged to Leon Hendrickson.

Pics for this PM, another of the common ones, PC30:

BarberFanatic

Vern - does your friend have a guess as to the grade of Hendrickson's coin? Every report of it that I have read merely says that it was "circulated".

Nevermind, Vern. Found a write-up about it in an old Gobrecht Journal. NGC Fine details.

BryceM

Strange for me. A second Seated coin in as many weeks. From Dave Wnuck's recent offerings:

barberkeys

Cary - So NGC said fine details. All I remember him saying was that it had issues, but was the only one known that he could afford. At that time he had every other regular issue from 1796 on.

BryceM - Very nice follow-up. The seated bug is biting.

Like this one?

RogerB - neat.

Here's a newp I found recently and pounced on as quickly as I could. I love the rich toning and the fact that it's a better date. Our hosts graded it XF45:

rhedden

Nice 1858-S! The one in my set is VF30, and it's nice for the grade. It's very hard to find one in XF45, and yours looks like it's pushing AU50.

Thanks, Ron. I'd say it's definitely a solid XF45. My hunch is that JA would green bean if I submitted it.

Here's my PCGS VF30 just for kicks.

Cary and Ron - a couple of beauties.

I'm looking for an 1885 business strike in PCGS MS64 or MS65, preferably with light toning or no toning. I thought about buying the 1885 pictured above, but it wouldn't have matched my other late-date P-mints, so I let it go.

SeatedToners

Just got this one from Great Collections. Picked it up at the post office today and its even prettier in person. The blue toning matches my 1885 almost perfectly. I think I'm going to send it off for a true view. The picture below is theirs

Seated - Wonderful eye appeal. Thanks for posting.

oih82w8

I am not sure if this one is a 1861/0, the images from @robec are indecisive (@yosclimber, @MrHalfDime ?)

yosclimber

@oih82w8,
I believe your very nice 1861 half dime is a V-2.

• It has the same date position as Valentine's V-2 plate.
• The "flaw under arm holding pole" (clash E from reverse) shows clearly.
• The "wreath recut at left" (DDR) shows clearly.

The so-called "1/0" (defective last 1 in date gang punch) occurs on V-4 and on a few other obverse dies.

• V-4 has a low, left date position.

Since the same date gang punch was used for all 1861 obverses, I suppose you could say they are all "1/0",
but it shows more plainly on V-4, V-6 and others than on V-2.
Thank you for obtaining and sharing @robec's great photos.
----
Edit to add: If your goal is to have PCGS attribute a "1/0", it appears they are looking for the raised metal left of the upright of the last 1, like in the V-4 photo above.
