<< <i>I enjoy the Morgan series but it seems every date and mm is always available in nearly every grade, all the time. At least with this series you have to search around for that look you want. >>
That is why you go DMPL!
Seated material is great and I could see it being highly addictive. They image great too!

Drats...more competition.
Its a excellent series, though.
Id say she's a AU55 too. Nice coin. A few weeks ago I picked up an 1877-CC in about the same grade level as that one.
it's like an au58 on a 63 reverse
does this image reflect color temperature of actual coin...or is it a lil muted towards the grey side?
is there muted luster hiding in this image type presented?
makes me want to ask...does it cartwheel?
tough image to get a grip on
very sweet example...all around pleasing
early C.C. seated...in mint or close to state...what's not to like here
makes me miss my lowly lil 70-cc dollar with a g6 obv and vg8 reverse...most laffed at in the 80's
even moved to carson city for a long part of my travels in life
it just added to the whole carson city coin collector in me who had like 20 of their gold examples too
but yeah
break it down a lil...background we can't see in this "detail image"
GoldenEyeNumismatics - You have a heck of an eye. Were the raw images good enough to determine it would straight grade?
coinJP - Yes, you have more competition, Todd will also get sucked into the SH vortex
lasvegasteddy - The coin when tilted possess some glimmer, there is luster. This was shot straight on which gives it a flat gun metal grey appearance. Does it cart-whee? Kinda sorta, it has more pizzazz than the image suggests.
I love the design for the artistry and it's a CC to boot. I'm currently negotiating for another 76CC in a Capitol holder but this one isn't cheap, it's all of 63 or better. Will definitely post it if and when I get it. The image is a straight graded 55, in current PCGS plastic.
i suspected it had more pizzazz then as imaged
held up great for what lil traveling she did too
I just got into Liberty Seated halves myself a little over a year ago - you and I are just more competition for a very small supply of problem-free pieces, so if you enjoy the hunt it's going to be a blast! You're off to a good start.
Speaking of Liberty Seated halves, a large collection of decent-looking pieces just became available on one of David Lawrence Rare Coins' 12-day auctions. Very little activity on it so far, surprisingly.
I dabbled in the series for a couple of years then gave up, acquiring about 40 different dates/mm's, focusing on crusty examples:
