Here's my engraved seated type set, it's taken a while to put this together.
I'm shooting for an obverse and reverse of each seated denomination and looking for a balance between the quality of engraving and the quality of the coin side.
Basically I'm looking for great eye appeal on both sides, but I focus more on the engraved side.
This is only a subset of my larger type set with the seated coinage being the easiest to find as love tokens or other engravings.

Thanks to tydye for the great seated dollar.
Always interested in nice love tokens and engraved coins.

    Very nice, and very different. How about larger images so we can appreciate them even more.

    Wow that is a neat set.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Very nice. When you complete that, you'll have to do by mintmarks. I am surprised none have holes in them plus they are all fully engraved not just dated or initialed in the fields. Show more of your type set. Maybe start an engraved thread?

    Those are awesome, I love how you've found a wide range of engraving styles, not just letters or patterns like one typically thinks of on a love token. Bigger pictures, please!
