    Vbowling - Welcome to the seated thread. Love the look on your double dime.

    DarkStar - Wonderful '49, thanks for posting.

    JG - agree with Darrell, awfully nice for a 62.

    Just the look I want for my album. Those are very hard to find, even in common dates. Seated lib quarters are such a tough and underrated series, and I'd also say under appreciated by most collectors. I feel like I got in 25 years too late!

    I think this dollar was stored in a leather purse or pouch for many years, I really like the color. Unfortunately the rim hits consigned it to a 'problem' holder.

    The grade of this 1842 Seated Liberty Dollar is NGC MS-60. This coin faces up like an MS-61PL or 62PL. I really like the overall look of this coin.

    It's in a recent NGC slab, and is not designated as PL, but probably should be. It's got full mint luster, and the additional PL pop really sets it off from an eye appeal perspective. I rarely find either an MS-60 or 61 coin that has enough eye appeal to suit my particular taste. This is one of those scarce exceptions to that general rule.

    thanks Vern. Coins like that make me feel more like a prospector than a collector, LOL>

    Stuart's 1842 dollar is really interesting. I pulled out Bowers' opus, where it says that a proof die was used to make business strikes that year. The diagnostics of that die are "Date about centrally positioned.Die file marks (in relief on the coin) slant down to the right near Miss Liberty's thumb at the shield and nearly vertically from the cap pole to the crook of her elbow."
    Maybe it is actually a proof and unattributed as such? Or maybe a business strike from the above mentioned die? A very eye catching coin!

    Im 53 and my mom still sends me BD money, go figure. So instead of just throwing it into my bank account and not buying anything, I actually bought a gift for me on something I can remember her by. Needless to say, I will be holding on to this for awhile. Got if from NE numismatics.

    I'm not much of a dime guy, and I really don't know too much about them, but my favorite coin in this past Heritage auction was the 56-S NGC 30. I was outbid in the last day, but a friend here inspired me to chase it a little more, and I eventually did win it. If anyone here has any thoughts on that particular date and/or coin, I'd sure like to hear opinions, good or bad.
