Here is my most favorite Seated (well, reclined seated a bit I guess) Liberty in my entire collection:
My most favorite Eagle is off a Civil War flagpole:

Amusing to see all those books entitled "Complete guides..." that are incomplete on the topics they cover.
Does this lazy use of the language bother you, Mr. Feld, like it bothers me?

Tough date
Unfortunately, True View is atrocious & bears little resemblance to the coin.

Picked up another Hansen castoff. AU50 upgrades my VF20. 1891-o quarters are tougher than you would think.

PCGS AU55 replaces my VF35. Second rarest Philly coin in the set. 16,000 mintage.

It has been a little while for me, I finally have something to post in this thread again. A few recent pickups for the homemade albums. I'm 29 coins away from completing the half dime set 1829-1873.
Let me know if you like that layout/format. I've been building up my own website and will have an online shop too.

An 1877 with a large die break. I don't know what die marriage this is because the date is not in BB's published on-line registries. I assume this die break is common. Does anyone know more about this coin?

A rather uncommon 1840-(O) WB-12 die marriage, in a very late die state. Much more difficult than the 1840-(O) WB-4.

5 -
That is a very nice example of a very tough WB-12 indeed.
3 -
Much tougher and nicer than my WB-4 (R3). The WB-12 I've seen were XF coins and I'm looking for a lower grade. The ratio of WB-4 to WB-12 is in the neighborhood of 10-15:1. I consider the WB-4 to be one of the more common DMs for the 40-O after the WB-5, 7, 10, and 11. When I write that it's common, people will argue with me, but it's the demand for this coin that drives its price. And boy is it fun to watch the price go up and up.
6 -
This is my 1840-(O) WB-4, in XF45, that I purchased directly from Dick Graham more than a decade ago. I think it looks better in hand than the TrueView and, like most of my coins, it hasn't had a trip to CAC.
10 -
Just for fun, here is a second, less eye appealing, WB-4 in XF45 that I own that was misattributed as a reverse of 39 and I purchased it on the cheap. This is the second one in a holder that I have been able to find which was misattributed. This variety and the 39 No Drapery can also be found labeled incorrectly from time to time.
9 -
@Southcounty, make sure you warn CAC ahead of your submission. They may run out of stickers if you don't.
Amazing that a TPG would miss a '40-(O) or botch recognizing a '39 ND from a '39 w/D. Were you looking for one or did you stumble into one? The tar-black VF20 40-(O) above was not described as such in its eBay auction, but at least two bidders recognized it, and it closed near market value at that time. Not a sweet cherry. One would think a dealer would catch that, but not all dealers are knowledgeable about coins.
I once called an eBay dealer about an EDS, dipped AU 55/54 with hairlines listed as a 55 normal date to check for die polishing lines around the eagle. I didn't want a dipped, cleaned coin but a dipped coin was OK for a pick. They confirmed lots of die lines and random hairlines but no cleaning "rash" of parallel lines. Then I got cocky and asked them to check around the date for die lines. They didn't notice the strong overdate staring back at them.

@Barberian most of my better cherry picks have come from dealer inventory, if they show up on eBay usually someone else will notice, although my last 39-O no drapery labeled as a with drapery was off of eBay, however it was also cleaned and most folks don't look too closely at cleaned or damaged coins.

It looks crusty and colorful, a good candidate for the rusty car toning thread.

Very attractive album. The 1886-s dime and 1867 quarter are tough coins. I feel the 86-s is undervalued.

Thanks! There aren't many circulated 1879s out there. QDB estimates 200-300, and mostly in VF or higher (QBD, Guide Book to Seated SIlver Coins). I like them in any grade, but lower grade '79 coins have that "working coin" look and appeal to me and my wallet, and are condition rarities themselves when so many were saved in MS and PR. I grade this coin at F12.
@Leeroybrown had two nice Fine 1879s. The other was a two-toned coin. This coin was my preference, and like a genie, he granted my wish and I'm very grateful. The dilemma I have now is do I have low enough morals to crack it out of its small, white ANACS holder and submit it to PCGS.

I thought of your set when I saw that show up on eBay, a nice addition and it happens to be one of my favorite dates and mints for seated liberty coinage.

I got this one also, which arrived today. #2 in the condition census. There's only a single uncirculated coin known for the date. I've been improving my no motto SF coins lately, which have turned out to be my favorite part of the series.
10 -
Congrats for that one as well Don!

New upgrade. Tougher coin than you might think and always weakly struck.

@Catbert Wow! One has to see the video for this coin. If that video was part of the sales pitch to begin with, I might be showing it off.I know, right? Seems like a 63 to me.

Two new EF40 additions, one has arrived already. I'm waiting on the other to arrive.
I'm keeping this coin warm for @Leeroybrown . A very eye-catching coin. Nice luster for an EF40.
