It's easy to forget what years come with what bells-and-whistles for the myriad Seated Libery series, but the dimes were no stars obverse with legend reverse for 1837 and 1838-O only.

That is pretty darn cool! Timothy_1589's gold coin below-

That's a nice double profile, Larry! Those pieces are really wild.

Here's a nice overdate, my favorite overdate of any US coin-

Those are some seriously nice coins! How can you guys keep adding pieces at such a rate when I am lucky to get one coin every two months!?!?!?!?

Watch out for chinook, he's a trouble maker. Besides, I think his goal is to own every attractive matte proof Lincoln.

Do you think they had a little too much to drink at the Mint when those digits were punched?

1858?

Nice freakin' nickels, John!

Commems offer a wide range of possibilities-

This allows me to change the year-

Elbesaar's 1898 Barber half-

Jeff, do you collect Morgans, too? I expected some big, cool slug-o-gold and here I see a Morgan dollar.

I'd give your coin an AU55. Please keep in mind that this is simply from your single set of images and also that I am viewing these on a computer that I don't normally use, which is giving me images that aren't quite what I am accustomed to.

Look for a flat spot directly above Ms. Liberty's right knee cap. It appears that this area is flat, which is a tipoff that the coin is not MS.

Yes! That counts!

There is an image of an 1889 Liberty nickel here in front of me, but I don't want to kill the thread, so here is another Morgan. It's an 1881-S and is my only Morgan.

In my opinion, it looks like bag toning and it also appears that you can see a partial textile print on Ms Liberty's face. Textile toning is very rare if it occurs outside of a Mint bag.

Luster is important on getting an MS67, but I think your coin has too many distractions on the obverse to have it easily slide into the MS67 grade.

Actually, the original submitter got robbed because I paid significantly less for the coin as a 66 than it would have cost as a 67.

Ohhhhhh...you wanted to know the grade? Sorry, I must have forgotten to post it previously.

It's only graded 66.

Sorry about that, I forgot the questions were asked.

Mike, your 1905 has a superb look to it.

Spider, did you notice the skull crack through Washington's head? The scalping effect that your shows is somewhat unusual, as the cracks normally follow higher up in the hair.

This is too good a thread to let slip into the abyss.

Hayden, you picked a real tough date to work from when you chose the 1791, what were you thinking!

I'll try to throw a lifeline to the thread by using the same type, but a friendlier date for US numismatics.

I think I understand how this works.

You know, I never was good at designations.

TwoKopeiki, are you aware of the chopmarks website?
