I'd say you have bigger juevos than I do and I hope you do well on them.

grip · October 18, 2014 10:09AM

Like them all except the peace dollars.

CoinWW2 · October 18, 2014 10:13AM

That seated dollar is gorgeous.

<< That seated dollar is gorgeous. >>

Yes, the seated dollar is what stands out for me too.

kaz · October 18, 2014 10:17AM

really like the 43 half; the die was falling apart, look at the crack from the rock to about star 2, and a rev crack that bisects the coin. very cool!

I don't know anything about seated series coins, but I do like the cracks on the 1843 Half Dollar. I thought by 1843 the mint would normally trash that reverse die.

Stefanie, Congrats on picking up a bunch of attractive coins.

My favorites are the 1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar and the 1887 Victoria Jubilee Crown.

Looks like you had a very numismatically productive Saturday!!

bolivarshagnasty · October 18, 2014 11:04AM

Yeah, can't stop going back to look at those last two!!

sparky64 · October 18, 2014 11:05AM

I'd say you had an exceptional day!

First thing I noticed was the speared head on the half, then the rev was almost cracked in half.

I really like the seated dollar.

morgansforever · October 18, 2014 11:20AM

The Seated buck is sweet, lots of meat left on that one. How do you feel about the toning? Seems ok to me, that's just me.

hchcoin · October 18, 2014 11:31AM

I say, "Well done"

coinsarefun · October 18, 2014 11:33AM

Thanks everyone for the very nice comments.

Bochiman.......You always crack me up

and I hope I do well also.

grip.........I will try to take pic's myself as the guy who was kind enough to image them for me has a great camera but used the overhead
fluorescents and it shows off the color and makes them look harsh.

kaz. sparky64, tookybandit, ......that's what attracted me to the coin.....love the cracks

bolivarshagnasty.....me 2

morgansforever, the color is much nicer in hand and the fields have a beautiful almost pl quality and the color is an outstanding yellow, reds and almost bronze toning.

coinsarefun · October 18, 2014 11:34AM

I tried a real fast image on just the Morgan

coinsarefun · October 18, 2014 11:35AM

Hmmmm

coinsarefun · October 18, 2014 11:36AM

Arghhh

Shamika · October 18, 2014 11:46AM

Love the Peace Dollars.

Stuart · October 18, 2014 11:54AM

Stefanie, Does the 1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar have Semi-PL to PL surfaces peeking out from under the colorful toning?

coinsarefun · October 18, 2014 11:58AM

Yes!!! Very much so. When I saw it I grabbed it

uofa1285 · October 18, 2014 12:14PM

Wow, my local coin shop doesn't have anything like this....very well done! Love the toners.

Stuart · October 18, 2014 12:21PM

Stefanie, Our numismatic karmas must be linked, because I've also got a Prooflike 1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar.

Stuart!! It looks very much like yours, they could be twins

I was thinking might go AU58.....what are your thoughts?

ricko · October 19, 2014 2:15AM

Nice pickups Stef......Cheers, RickO

Bodin · October 19, 2014 2:46AM

VERY NICE!

Indeed- me three. That qualifies as a "monster toner" in my book.

Like the '43 half a lot, too. Too bad somebody shoved that knitting needle through Lady Liberty's skull, though.

Stefani, In reply to your above quoted post, based on the digital images, I agree that your 1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar appears to be in the AU-55 to AU-58 range.

1) What was your grade assessment when you purchased it?
2) What grade would it have to achieve for you to come out whole commercially?

Here's a higher resolution image of my coin for comparison purposes.
