New purchase - crusty 1850-O Seated half

Don't see this date that often either. Guess December is my lucky month, managed to get a nice 1849-O earlier in the month too.

PCGS XF-40:

Very Nice Congrats!

From the pics, it looks better than a 40 to me. I'm guessing they didn't like the darkness of the coin. I like it very much. Nice pickup.

Flatwoods

Great looking coin.

Neat patina. A little busy, but undeniably original.

I agree. I just picked up a Barber half with similar toning on the obverse that obscures the devices that technically should have been VF25 but was graded VF20. I would grade this XF45.

Beautiful Seated Half....with the perfect look. Where, if you don't mind, did you find such a nice original half?

I agree with the XF45 above.

Nice deep south Seated Half. I'm gonna go with 45.

Now, if you can scrape that mintmark off and make that area look like the rest of the coin, you may triple your money.....

I was very lucky on this half, glad so many people think that eBay is a rip-off joint. It does pay to be patient, they do pop up every now and then.

This one is a bit dark, but looks good in hand. I prefer this look over ugly mottled toning.

Hello all, just joined in as you can probably tell with the multiple blank posts and no avatar image. Sorry about that. Trying to figure out how to post photos that are too large. Anyway, nice 50-O and a sleeper date as well to find nice. Also like your 49-O which fits into the same category. Once I figure out how to post images properly I'll share mine with the group. Take care....

And a welcome to halfhound here! Look forward to your postings and your halves!

Goldbully

A real man's collector coin in my book!

Wow, that one is a doozy too! You can dig up my recent 1864-S thread, I'll bet you have a good one there too!
