finally found a wholesome seated dollar

I've been looking for a type example for about 6 months, after selling another SLD that I liked, but didn't love. So many of the coins in this series look scrubbed or messed with, even if they're straight graded.
This 1870 presented itself at a GC auction recently, and it checked all my boxes—great original-looking eye appeal, a thick skin, some character/color, generally uniform surfaces, and no problems. It arrived this week and I'm very pleased.
The coin I sold was a 58, but this is a happy downgrade to this 50 (my minimum grade for my type set). Any and all comments welcome, even if you don't like it as much as I do.

Looks good - I think it likely got a market grade bump from 45 for originality. A coin I’d be happy to own.
A very nice looking coin!
It's a beauty.
Super nice.
They are definitely scarce/rare with that "look".

I like it. It appears to flash a bit of PL surfaces at certain angles. Is that the case in-hand? Regardless of if it does or not, I think the coin is attractive.

As nice a 50 as I've seen.

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't no optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .
For "pocketchange", that must have been an incredible find.
Nice looker.....
How about some pictures of the 58 you let go.........
Looks nice.

it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide

A very nice coin... and I can tell you are thoroughly pleased with it - which is what really matters. Cheers, RickO
I would wager it would sticker as a 45. Nice look. Congrats.
Very nice congrats!!!
I prefer collecting coins in lower circulated condition G04 to F12
Nice coin. I had it in my watchlist and didn’t end up bidding.

Very nice example!
She’s got pretty thick skin but under bright light, yes. There’s a tinge of mint luster left around the letters and stars as well.

I really like the look. And it’s not an 1871!
Wow, the TrueView makes it look so much better. I'm guessing GC didn't use the TV or you might have had a lot more competition. Even your bottom two iPhone shots bring out the positives better than the GC photo.
Wholesome 50!!
Congrats on picking up a very eye appealing SLD!!

Very nice SLD! I’ve been struggling to find (and getting the winning bid) on the two I need for my Dansco7070.
By any chance you have a link your type set? I’d be really interested to see what else you have!
Wonderful looking coin!
Congrats on snagging it!👍
Way nicer than the GC photos show. Congrats!

It's a beauty 👏
Sure, it’s posted publicly—here’s the link.
It was 100% complete at one point, but I’ve sold a few examples off that need to be replaced, which was the case for this SLD.
