Thanks all!!
Everest, I am trying to learn how to grade the type, what people look for when grading, and hear what other collectors like or prefer. I apologize if me posting these SLDs are an annoyance for you

Steeler72: No need to apologize at all. You are headed in the right direction. I went through the same learning curve a few years ago and it never ends. A few of the things that have helped me were that I live in an area that I can attend some major shows and view auction lots as well as walk the bourse floor. I also belong to a couple of coin clubs where we have a show and tell. It is an extreme advantage if you have the opportunity to view as many LSD as possible in hand. I realize this is not possible for everyone. Check out the major auction houses websites for photos and prices realized. Grading is important but I would put pricing right up there. You could join the Liberty Seated Collectors club. They specialize in the Liberty Seated series from Half Dimes through Dollars. They have a set of five hardbound books covering their early publications from the 70's through the early 2000's just loaded with information. They also have a website at lsccweb.org where knowledgeable people opine as well. This is a great series and the grading companies allow more leeway when grading these which just adds to the confusion. Also visit the PCGS & NGC websites and check out their population reports and then go to caccoin.com and take a look at their pop reports. It has been my experience that they are very strict on originality. All the best and definetly post away. Edited by Everest

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Looks solid for AU-53. I'm seeing significant friction in the obverse fields and wear on Liberty's legs that seem grade-limiting.
Very nice eye appeal.
