This 1842-O Large Date 25 is graded PCGS AU58, and it's arriving in the mail today. It's too bad about the little reverse rim bump, but I bought it anyway after years of having nothing better than a VF in my set. It's interesting to note that Eric Newman's incredible collection featured an NGC VF25 example of this coin with a large obverse scratch, which should have gone in a Details holder IMHO.
@rhedden really nice quarter. Until you pointed it out, I missed the very slight rim issue. I’m glad PCGS straight graded it since it appears to be so minor. Love the reverse toning and hope the TV is somewhat accurate. Congrats!
There have been a few examples of this date auctioned off in MS62-64 the past few years, but none of them really had sufficient eye appeal to tempt me to bid. I paid a stiff price for the AU58, and I'll probably take a bath some day when I go to sell it, but it looks fantastic for the grade and it will brighten up my set.
Updated Liberty Seated Family Portrait. Just a few more needed to completed the Liberty Seated portion of my 19th Century circulated type set. Just playing around, but thought it came out ok. Had to adjust the file size to get it to load quicker onto websites, so can’t enlarge it more without losing details, not sure what it looks like on a large computer monitor but looks good on my iPad
Many very nice coins there.
I'm curious why you have both 1857 and 1858 half dimes.
Most people don't know that 1858 had a new obverse hub (compared with 1841-56).
The 1857 could be the old hub or new hub.
There is also the 1859 Philadelphia obverse which is a one-year hub.

Thanks. The reason I have both the 57 and 58 half dimes is because I had the 58 from a long time ago, way before I started putting together a circulated PCGS slabbed type set. It’s a NGC MS64. I have all of my slabbed coin images in the same digital album on my iPhone/iPad whether they are in my type set or not. I made the collage out of the thumbnail images, just for fun.
Most likely I’m going to make a better collage out of just the Liberty Seated circulated type set once it’s complete and use the actual images in higher resolution rather than just using the thumbnail images. In other words, it’s just a draft, but I liked the way it looked so I posted it.

Here's one that doesn't come along every year, from Doug's collection, P30:
A legitimately rare coin! By far the toughest 's' mint to find as a date. I had one back in the 1980's traded it to work toward my Seated Dime set. Wish I still had it!

Love the '72-S quarter Vern! Quality exudes off of the surfaces of that specimen! Keeping with the '72-S theme, this half dollar recently went under my camera lens from the Alberta Gray Idaho Collection.

This '57 is a replacement for one that was too thin to stick in the book.

Wonderful 52-O 50C, it has that perfect look.
Great thread! I’ve put seated material out of my mind lately, focusing on other coins but it’s back now!
I’m very, very pleased with my latest two purchases:

Here's a coin I never show. It was an all-around, thoroughly disappointing eBay transaction.
Just passed by my camera this afternoon. Very tough '71-CC Half Dollar. Looks like Details.
