@Barberian . Very nice and very rare. Did you compare this one to the one at Northeast Numismatic at all? Theirs has a very strong reverse but such an unfortunate scratch on the obverse. I think you get a better "Liberty" too. Congrats. James

Not before the GC auction. I like this coin better for its nice, original look, and I got this for a much lower price. It's a good deal all around.

I've been distracted by scarce die marriages and die states this year.

I just landed this upgrade off of GC. I couldn't resist it, and I'm delighted to win it. Now I have to figure out a way to pay for it.

This was in an old Whitman blue... a long-time collection. Recently discovered at my LCS. Amazing! These must have been a part of a Type set:
1870-P SLH


1843-O SLH


I'll Throw This One In as a "pre-Seated" - 1839-O Capped Bust Half


Amazing! Beautiful and Tough Looking Original Like This
