Lower grade Civil War Seated Dollar set SO FAR

TAMU15 · July 19, 2012 11:43AM

At the FUN show in January I decided I wanted to do an 1861-1865 seated dollar set in low grade. I mean how hard could it be to find well circulated problem free coins! HAHAHA JUST KIDDING. It has proven to be a tough challenge so far I'm 2/5. Both were acquired with help from board members, the 1864 was bought from MFH who got it from JJ teaparty and I have subsequently gotten it CAC'ed. GoldenEyeNumismatics tipped me off onto the location of the 1865, which I will try at CAC later on. Thanks guys for your help!

1861, 1862 and 1863 will be even tougher.

Especially the 1862. Very tough in low grade.

These are tough coins, but it should be mighty fun to attempt to locate them.

Those are neat coins, and what a cool project. It will be quite a group when you do end up locating the rest

Cool set idea!

That will be a neat collection once it is complete. I've actually thought about doing the exact same thing myself, a run of well-circulated Civil War Seated Dollars.

Nice looking coins so far. Maybe you'll luck out and find something in Philly.

I read an article somewhere about circulated seared dollars and it said some years (especially civil war years) when almost the entire mingtage was sent overseas to the orient, low grade circ examples can be as tough, if not tougher to find than proofs. -__- wish me luck guys! Haha bIt really thanks for the comments.

Just submitted the 1865 to CAC and it came back with a green bean. I have the only CAC'ed G4 1864 and only CAC'ed G4 1865. Now if i can just find the other 3 dates in lower grades problem free...
