Seated Liberty Type - recent pickup

[drew|werd]

I recently started buying "junk silver" in addition to silver bullion rounds and eagles and recently saw a CL listing that included a 1875 twenty cent piece and a 1877 half dollar piece. With some quick research, I found out they weren't asking much for them in addition to the silver coins so I figured "what the hell" and bought them.

 

They are pretty rough and have been around but are these still desirable in their very circulated state?

i "love" em

 

as they are heavily circulated and yet they are basically problem free "gem circ." coins

 

with history to tell my opinion the 20 cent piece is the cream of the 2 coins

 

but i "luv" both

You did well. At least someone didn't take a wire brush to try to clean them before selling them.

 

Very Cool.

The Half has nice eye appeal but the 20 cent piece is a little too crusty for my taste.

Thanks for the comments. I do like the look of the half dollar even with a couple of rim dings but I was thinking about getting rid of the twenty cent piece. Surprisingly my wife suggested I keep it since it is uncommon even in its circulated state.

 

gem circulated cameo... I like that
