Today I'm visiting a LCS with a buddy I'm teaching what knowledge I have to. I do want to establish a relationship with a LCD.

So you think I did OK on the seated Liberty ? It will become the oldest coin I have and the details just kind of leapt out on me and grabbed my interest.

That and I always wanted a seated Liberty but the ones I wanted were always in the $1,500 to $2,000 range. To much for a retired copper. I have spent that much but only for MSD's, which are my favorite American Numismatics.

I actually have the money for a better one but this one seemed a decent value. Its difficult not to admire a 182 year old coin, gradable or not.

I wanted a seated I could treasure and leave for my kid, hopefully getting him to remember our "coin classes" and sparking collecting in him. I'm not here to get rich.

Yes, I still think you did okay.

Thanks Buck. I have a long established history with BE and would hate to have a problem over something I bought from them. Usually, for a bullion house, they have very good prices on numismatics. Gold too.

Here's my 1844. At first I thought it was an 1843.

But after dunking it in silver test solution it turned out to be an 1844.

It was exciting to find out that I had a slightly rarer coin than an 1843. But in this condition it probably doesn't affect the value. The test solution affected the shininess though, and some day I'll have to repolish it.

I have a few that are in better condition. The best looking one is an 1859 proof. The one I like the most is an AG-3 1872-CC.
