Finally got the entire first decade (+1) of the Seated Halves!

I'm working on the basic set for the registry, which consists of date/mintmark, with a handful of varieties. The grades on these range from 30 to 58. The last coin I got for this set was the "common" 1842-O, which seemed to be anything but common!

10-4,

    THIS is why I don't do series collecting...I would not know which one to keep! Although the toned one, in the upper right hand corner, has caught my eye several times.

    Nice set. I love the pre-1853 seated coinage. So much history..... and patina. While the coins in general are available....wholesome ones are pretty scarce.

    Very nice set. Congrats on what had to be a long arduous task. Absolutely love the toning. Looks so much like you would expect one to look like. Thanks for sharing.

    Good job. I found the last decade a lot harder to find than the first.
    Just kept the type coins for my set now.

    Wow. Good job.
    I am just starting my journey on LS halves, and it is daunting. I loke the idea of attacking it a decade at a time.

    Nicely done, i agree with Catbert on the varied look, I dig it.

    I've been buying an occasional F-XF Seated half the last year or so. I'm starting to really appreciate them.

    Beautiful coins. Congratulations. Some of these dates are tough in unmolested condition. Your 1848 is certainly a case in point.
