rexcat Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Great coins every one! Like them all, but these two resently are the kind of stuff I love to find at shows, (when I have the money of course ). RGT's 1851 Trime; WOW! That’s just the kind of example I want for the coin that fills the type 1 hole in my type set, full strike and good eye appeal. If I saw that coin for sale I’d jump on it real fast. I also like Leeg's 1857 half cent too, like it a lot, very eye appealing over all look. This coin is also a hole in my type set which I have been looking for lately and sure would be happy finding something that looked like it, although for a type example I would stay away from an 1857 and look for a more common date, (unless I saw a really killer 57). Myself, I have just one coin dated 1857 … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeKing Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Very pretty. I was going to ask if it was a proof or a proof-like. Seeing seated coinage like this and what is above is making me more and more fond of seated liberty coinage which I used to consider boring in the past. No more.

TomB Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Tom - Why the hair pulling? Because Seated Liberty coinage that is problem-free and attractive is not the easiest stuff to find, and when you have a numismatist of the caliber of MikeKing stating that he is now taking a closer look at this niche, well, that can't be good news to those of us who like to pickoff underappreciated and underpriced gems such as this- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ_E Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 There is definitely some nice Seated Liberty coinage to be found but that is only because Seated Liberty coinage is not highly sought after in general except by type collectors. With a continuing interest being stirred in numismatics, I wonder if this will be true in the coming years. The following proof dime has a mintage of but 1000 but yet, it only cost me $650. I still find that incredible especially in light of the price some of the low mintage moderns bring! p.s. These aren't the best photos but the coin in hand has great mirrors and a slight cameo contrast with nice album toning (NGC PR64). I got this from Mark Feld and was 3 minutes quicker than another interested buyer. Whew! I'm glad I got it. I actually replaced a BU 1891 S dime in my Dansco album with this newps This is not surprising to those who know me since I always have a tendency to acquire a proof specimen for my type collection when possible.

Zach Good luck! I've been trying to find one for 3 yrs now. I was going to bite the bullet and buy a MS64 from Mark Feld for $2800 but he had already sold it. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places but I just can't find a problem free example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
