Re: Please post your Seated Liberty images.
My Trueviews posted today. These are coins I've never shown here before. It looks like PCGS is grading tough. A few potential CAC coins in this submission. Edited to add that the Trueviews got the color right on every coin, so big props to the Trueview crew! 1874-CC WB-1 (R6) G6 - this is thought to be the rarest die… -

Some more good ones! My attributions for the die pairs: 1854-O V-5 The characteristic obverse cracks are visible at S6 and S8, and the reverse has the shallow O and weak ERI. 1853-O V-6 This has the repunched mint mark, same as the V-1 no arrows reverse. It has a slightly concave and ragged upper left edge. There should… -

It might be V7 LDS, because V7 is described (in Breen and Blythe) as having the V5 obverse with a reverse that has no die cracks. (Compare with V5 reverse cracks at ED to wreath). However, your reverse does not have H joined to leaf as described by Breen. And your reverse has several other die cracks: * T2 left top wreath,… -

WingedLiberty, silver is the core of U.S type, and Liberty seated coinage is the core of U.S. silver type. It covers six denominations (1/2 dime, dime, twenty cents, quarter, half, dollar) over a period of up to 55 years (1836-1891). For some denominations, it represents the most type coins in the whole denomination type… -
Re: Please post your Seated Liberty images.
This is a reasonable guess and it does share the same reverse with WB-6, however as Barberian noticed the obverse is not an exact match with the date position being a little higher and the 1 being recut. This is a new die marriage not in the Bugert book classified as WB-15 which is a marriage of Obverse 6 with Reverse H. I… -

I went a little crazy on Heritage auctions this weekend. I found lots of low grade (but very attractive) seated quarters, and there was a nice group of AU half dimes too, but my fave was an 1852-O dime NGC 53 (NGC 2/38, PCGS 2/21). Also love the 1869 quarter NGC G-06 (NGC 1/21, PCGS 3/49). These coins are so scarce and I… -

News for 1847: "January 4 – Samuel Colt sells his first revolver pistol, the Colt Walker, to the U.S government for the Texas Rangers. January 13 – The Treaty of Cahuenga ends the fighting in the Mexican–American War in California. January 16 – John C. Fremont is appointed Governor of the new California Territory." Ron… -
Re: Please post your Seated Liberty images.
I've posted about this coin, an 1874-S WB-4, in a separate thread today as well as posted pictures of it in this thread several years ago not knowing its die pairing, but I'm all giddy now after finding out it is only the second known example of this variety that Mr. Bill Bugert called an R-8 "super-rarity". This is also a… -
Re: Please post your Seated Liberty images.
This coin has very strong clashing, and @MrHalfDime wrote in 2013 (for a similar coin): @MrHalfDime had 37 coins for 1854 in his reference collection, of which he attributed 8 to V-1 to V-4a, 10 to 3 new varieties (that were not published, but he described one with a shattered reverse in his forum post, and another had a… -
Re: Please post your Seated Liberty images.
It's a (very nice) V-4 (small o), actually. [very nice = MS-66+ ex-Gardner] Since you wrote V-2, this suggests you are using Valentine's 1931 book, where he only listed 2 die marriages (and V-2 had the smaller mint mark of the 2). It was also described as a V-2 medium O by Heritage in the Gardner sale, so the size…
