A 73-P dollar is underrated. It's tougher by a good stretch than a 71 or 72 plain coin. But it's priced very close to those two issues. Congrats and good luck if/when you submit.
Just finished my Seated Liberty Type Set. Here they are in one place. Overall really happy. I could see upgrading the dollar to a 62 or 63 at some point but it's somewhat low on my list of coin priorities.
This is a difficult one to find in high grade. Unfortunately, this one is now in an NGC holder without the pedigree. I would have enjoyed the OGH more than the NGC UNC grade.
found stashed away beneath the floor in an old mansion in New Orleans. AU50. It has a really cool story annotated in my Registry Set of New Orleans coins. Enjoy. H
Die crack extending from denils to nose and below the chin into the shoulder and continues slightly further down along the neckline. Additional die crack in rock support just above 6 extending thru to the foot and into the right fields. Original seller photos (Sunshine Rare Coins).
Hi Visanti, I agree! Gerry Fortin recent auctions / 30 Day Price List for Seated Liberty coinage has included some gem examples! Happy Holidays to all!
I passed on this 1840-O WB8 (R5) with large obverse dentils about two months ago because the coin had fine scratches, graffiti, and etched surfaces. I'm new to collecting scarce die marriages and didn't know then when I'd see another one that was half decent.
I spotted this WB8 today and I'm hoping this coin (below) breaks a string of poor purchases of misrepresented coins, and even a counterfeit, that had to be returned. This coin has VF+ wear and nice color though it looks to have had some light wiping in the past.

1843 WB25. It's got a rim hit and possible planchet defect at the arm fold, but it's original, at least! It's been added to my stash of 1843-P DMs. Edited photo to add more exposure.
I spotted this 1855 in a PCGS genuine AU-details holder on EBay and checked it for the 1855/854 overdate. The seller's photos suggested it might be an overdate but weren't 100% conclusive in my mind.
Seeing that it was a Gold Shield coin that had been recently slabbed, I checked for a TrueView.
Bingo! A fairly early die state as well. A bit pricey at $285 BIN for an AU-details coin (however, PCGS AU50 1855/854s sell for about $1000), but I had to have it as another example of a misattributed coin in a TPG holder, and with a TrueView with it as well.

Doesn't look that bad, nice pick-up!

I love this choice 1867 business strike! The 6,000 mintage is so cool, its the lowest of any regular issue Liberty Seated Dimes.
It's so hard to find a mid grade example of this issue. Some of these were acquired by collectors early on, with many more high grade coins remaining. However most disappeared, with about 150 existing in all grades. Congratulations on owning this!!!!
When I was a kid back in 1970, I made a list of all of the coins that I would want in the future. I only knew that mintage was related to rarity and this coin was at the top of the list. A good was about $35. I didn't get an 1867 dime until about 2015. I think I only found 2 mid grade coins at shows from 1980 to now. Mine is shown below.

That is a very nice example you have there as well.
I'm looking at the 1867 dollar next.

Hi Kaj1,
I was curious if you have an 1867 theme or if just the 1867 dollar appealed to you? I know the 1867 is tougher in higher grades than the surrounding years 1866,1868.
Oops, just saw thread where this is 100 years before your birth. If you get into gold, the 1867 $2.5 is particularly undervalued compared with its rarity. The 1867 5.00 is undervalued as well. Both are from Philly mint.

Those are great! Last summer I got the 1865 half dime, also a low mintage and surviving population. 👍

Hi Ashland,
Your 1865 is a lovely Half Dime! Rarest Civil War date in the series! I got to see it on your Youtube channel too!

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for first loving us.
This is not a set that I am assembling, but the toning-eye appeal and strike caught my (old) eyes.
Really enjoying everyone's coins!

I traded this to HJBerk some 10 or so years ago. It was the only proof Liberty Seated Dime I ever had.

She’s seated right?!
Just got her back with the lofty grade of PO1. Best of the worst. Looks less scratchy in hand, bad photos.
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
Vern, thanks again for this gem!
Good to know! The coin is currently in for grading (just received by our host) and I will let you know the outcome.
Dug this out of my snowbank-entombed mailbox.
Here's one I picked up recently in an OGH 64.
