Just a couple of circ half dimes that are fully original. Personally, I think the grades are pretty much identical, but the '38 graded 45 and the '53 graded 50
Got this off of Ebay. Lately, the coin addiction has me buying from Ebay despite the premiums. A common date, but any nice original AU58 Seated Half dollar under $500... I will be a buyer.

Another one from the recent raw submission, unfortunately details graded for some old scratches on the reverse. The obverse die crack certainly drew my attention when it showed up raw on ebay.

Great piece. I find it interesting the True view may not do justice to my perceived "coin in hand" look
Interesting comments on USPattern.com about Business vs Proof formats and the Auction Cataloger notes in the 2011 Heritage August 2011 Auction / Lot #7738 about this piece.
You still need that R.8 J-765

1842 Medium Date that passed through, PC-45...
@retirednow I will give you an example of this. I was the previous owner of @paesan Lenny's 'cracked' half dollar shown above. I bought it raw from a central states coin shop then submitted it to PCGS before selling the half dollar. The TrueView picture I am adding below was what originally was imaged for the coin by PCGS. Fortunately they have "back-up' images so I was able to have it changed out to what you now see when verifying (now closer to 'in hand' as you state). My belief is they have one camera setting best for Gold or Copper and one separate setting for silver. In the older TrueView shown as more orange here, they uploaded the wrong digital image with settings best suited for non-silver:
My theory. It is corrected now.

I cheated! And it looks like I'm WRONG. Good. I'm ready to learn.
What's the diagnoses for this DM because I'd like to know what I have? Definitely the date on your coin is positioned higher than my coin above, so I'll go with that for now.

WB-6, Large O (WB-104)...as best as I can tell.
"This is the fifth and final use of this Obverse die and the only use of this reverse die. This die marriage is one of the rarest of the 1840-Os. At the time of this writing and after decades of Searching, I am aware of less than ten examples of this die marriage. Others likely exist".

This is a reasonable guess and it does share the same reverse with WB-6, however as Barberian noticed the obverse is not an exact match with the date position being a little higher and the 1 being recut.
This is a new die marriage not in the Bugert book classified as WB-15 which is a marriage of Obverse 6 with Reverse H. I believe this is the third use of Obverse 6 and the first use of Reverse H. To my knowledge, this is only the second known example and is the condition census and only damage free example. Although I would love to hear if others exist.
Interestingly enough while I was waiting for this coin to end on Ebay I was killing a few minutes of time and noticed a very rare 1839-O seated half dime pop up on Ebay and I purchased it with an instant buy it now. In the course of less than one hour I scored two R7 coins. It was a good day.
The picture below is an example of my 1840-O WB-6, XF45.

That's what I thought as well. However, this coin (the WB-15) has a date position higher than the date position on the WB-6 (2nd photo below-from Bugert 2011).

Your collection is incredible. I’ve never seen her by the seashore before. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I have enjoyed sharing the photos. I realized I had a large group of TrueViews that I hadn't shared and this thread seemed like a good place to do so.
I purchased this 1865 raw from Brian Greer about two decades ago. PCGS gave her a 53 when I sent her in back in 2007.
My Trueviews posted today. These are coins I've never shown here before. It looks like PCGS is grading tough. A few potential CAC coins in this submission. Edited to add that the Trueviews got the color right on every coin, so big props to the Trueview crew!
1874-CC WB-1 (R6) G6 - this is thought to be the rarest die marriage for the 1874-CC (Bugert 2013, p. 72). Because there are so few attributed SLHs in TPG holders, this is now the PCGS Coin Facts plate coin for the die marriage.
1843 WB-12 (R3) VF35 - one of the first seated halves purchased that got me going on SLHs. I graded it as EF40.
1843 WB-35 (R3) EF45 - this is one of my favorite seated halves. I graded it at EF-AU. It'll lead the parade to CAC.
Thanks! It's been fun posting TrueViews of these coins. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time now, and particularly along with the nice SLHs shown here by LJenkins11, Southcountry, ARCO, Catbert, and others lately.

Very well done. Exceptional coins!

Yeah....... The Trueview has way too much orange. The coin looks more like a giant nickel in hand with no pl surfaces.
Is this any closer to the actual coin?

WB-6, Large O (WB-104)...as best as I can tell.
"This is the fifth and final use of this Obverse die and the only use of this reverse die. This die marriage is one of the rarest of the 1840-Os. At the time of this writing and after decades of Searching, I am aware of less than ten examples of this die marriage. Others likely exist".
I think it is interesting that my J-1022 graded PCGS pr 66 was struck with the 1870 proof dies but has no proof surface.
The Simpson J-1022 graded PCGS pr 67 dcam was struck with the regular issue dies and has very deep proof mirrors.....
This is a reasonable guess and it does share the same reverse with WB-6, however as Barberian noticed the obverse is not an exact match with the date position being a little higher and the 1 being recut.
This is a new die marriage not in the Bugert book classified as WB-15 which is a marriage of Obverse 6 with Reverse H. I believe this is the third use of Obverse 6 and the first use of Reverse H.

@Southcountry both of your 1840-O's are great-looking pieces.

1942 Medium Date WB-8 (R3) EF40 - IMO, dipped and retoned. Well struck! It shows the wear of an EF45 or AU50. A CAC candidate.
1846 Tall Date WB-11 (R3) VF25. Looks VF30 to me - another CAC candidate
1840-(O) Reverse of 38 WB-4 (R3) VF20 - a common coin in high demand
