What a great grouping of coins... One is better than the next, some real rarities and some outstanding toned pieces, thanks guys for posting your coins. Here's a few of mine, most I've posted on here somewhere or another before, but here goes again...
<< <i>I only have a few Seated Liberties...here's one of my favorites...
This coin came from Jim Gray's collection and was graded by NGC as MS 65...but... on a cross over at PCGS, it came back as a MS 64.
Regardless, its a beauty !! >>
I sent this coin in again for Grade Review and its still a MS 64. Here are the Tru View images of this half:
Here's another Seated Quarter which has never been shown by me before now; it started off as an NGC PF 66 CAM - was crossed a year or two ago @ PCGS and came back as a PR 64 CAM - ouch - so I thought I'd send it in again and hope for at least one point upgrade - NO DICE - its still a PR 64 CAM...

All with genuine Mint clipped planchets, though a couple of the photos make this hard to see:

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Been chasing a nice seated typeset for some time... Two coins I'm still looking for in nice XF or better are the 1853 Half and Quarter. Just can't find those two in nice original conditions that aren't off the charts price wise.

My only certified Half Dime - I bought it for a type set and thought it nicely toned:
The scratches on the obverse are on the holder.

I thought this AU55 was pretty even just based on the scans.
