    Impressive! what piqued your interest?

    Found one. Traced it down. Started thinking and decided that I like the size of half dollars but not most designs.
    Sooooooooooooooooo...... :s

    Congrats! That's awesome :)

    I have a limited Seated Liberty collection as well, only 2 dollars and 1 half dollar.

    Those look great.

    The only Seated Halves that I ever had were raw (an 1854 O and a 1877) and I sold them years ago.

    Been meaning to buy some nice certified ones but have yet to do so....it's on my 'short list". ;)

    Love seated halves! Nice pickups especially the 1840. I'm a sucker for the No Motto early dates.😎

    Nice coins.... I like seated halves, but prefer the Walking Liberty design...Half dollars are nice coins, wish they still circulated....Cheers, RickO

    I have never owned one. I did own a seated quarter and dollar during my initial collecting years, back in 1977.

    Over the last few years I've casually collected them. If i see a nice, original, mid-grade seated half, I'm interested.

    You made some good choices!

    I agree with many of the above posts that these are very nice Halves. I too really like the 59-S, but maybe some of that is due to the photos. The 59-S photo seems to be in sharper focus than the other two. Did you take the photos or are they from the sellers? I am starting to try to learn this new skill, photographing coins.

    Oh oh, more competition! I started on this series on the side when I couldn't find capped bust halves I liked. Now my Basic set is almost 80% complete and I'm #8 on the registry. I can't ever see completing it, but it would be fun to get close!

    This series is tough for finding decent coins that haven't been messed with, no matter the grade.

    Considering the sellers, I'd say the other two are scans.
    I can't take coin pix either. :(

    Those halves look very nice! Interestingly of all the Seated denominations, half dime through dollar, I like the half dollars the least. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate a nice one, and I do have a few nice circ ones.
