Occasionally you can get a nice Seated at your LCS. Raw in this case and I am a sucker for O-mint. I can forgive the slight rim bump or two.

Not only a true Large Date, but the cool late die state V-1a with the die crack through E2 L M2.
@yosclimber I attached an information sheet indicating that the 1849 H10C was a 1849/6 V-1, but who knows if the grading / attribution room got it or not.
Been a lurker for a long time here. Figured first post would be on this thread as I am a sucker for all the Seated Liberty Series. I’ll share some I’ve submitted to PCGS over the past year. All purchased raw from some of the larger national shows…
Here’s the other halves from the same submission. All grades exactly as I expected. Working on a circulated set
(G-F) of the 79-90…I have a few more that I acquired already slabbed that I will share. Be

The 1838-O is bent, but with a PCGS estimate of 200 survivors in all grades, I'm happy to fill the hole.

This 1853-O With Arrows is an upgrade and I intend to have it cracked out for the album.

At this point, I'm just 15 coins shy of completing the 1829 to 1873 portion of the series. Remaining dates for me to find include 1842-O, 1848-O, and 1852-O, 1846, 1848 over "8", 1853 No Arrows, 1864, 1865, 1866, and 1867, 1863-S, 1864-S, and 1871-S.

1853 Quarter with what looks like a massive die break. In the middle of the arc, the metal is raised, while at the ends it is indented. Strange, I have not seen another 1853 quarter with this same crack in any progressive stage.

I appears to be from an impact of a circular object from left to right,
with metal scraped to the right and raised up on the right edge of the impact.
If it was a massive die break, it would continue to an edge of the coin, and there would not be an indent on the left side of it.
Yes, it definitely looks like PMD especially at the top of the arc.
However, the raised metal is not damage, it was not caused by an object hitting the coin and pushing up the metal. The raised metal was part of the the original strike and you can see it under magnification.

@catbert great looking 71. @rec78 that is quite a submission and the horizontal 6 half dollar is fantastic.

Nice V-1.
Strange that they call it "9 Over Widely Placed 6", though.
I thought that phrase was used for V-2, what I like to call "9 over far 6".

It's been a minute since my last addition but got this one recently. It's cracked out and living in the LOC album now.

Not only a true Large Date, but the cool late die state V-1a with the die crack through E2 L M2.
It's a great coin, but it's not FS-302 (V-2); it is a V-1 (also an overdate), as I think you know.
@yosclimber I attached an information sheet indicating that the 1849 H10C was a 1849/6 V-1, but who knows if the grading / attribution room got it or not.
Perhaps their attribution room referred to https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1849-6-h10c-9-over-widely-placed/4342/10 and saw the first coin depicted is a V-1 listed as 1849/6 H10C 9 Over Widely Placed 6. Sloping downward date with a faint remnant of the underlying 6. Déjà vu again?
