SeatedNut, I've heard good things about Dick Osburn, I recently ordered a Seated half dime from him and waiting for it to be delivered. That's my first order with him. If it works out I'll definitely be ordering more. All this time I've didn't since he didn't have pics.

This seller have 4 pics, 2 of them has a yellowish color as shown below. I've emailed him asking which one represent the actual coin and waiting for his response. If its yellowish I'll walk away. I've bought from him before and feel comfortable dealing with him.

Solid for the grade, and a few bucks high at the asking price. I wouldn't hesitate to snag it if the discount could be had.

As already noted a very nice coin. However, a bit on the high side for a price. Now don't forget if there is Postage, insurances, etc you have to actually add that to the price of the coin. So now just how much is the total?

Seller emailed me back saying its a golden grey color and If I don't like it for any reason I can return and he'll refund my shipping cost to send it back. So I bought it. And the coupon worked without any problems. I will post my own pics once I receive it.

Thanks everyone!

I'm trying to decide whether I want to keep it or return. No luster left and a bit dark for my taste. The whitish marks around the left arm is on the holder.

Would like to hear your opinion as well.

I like it. I know that the appearance of any coin is completely subjective to the viewer, and I happen to like the looks of some coins that are dark and lacking some luster. I think it makes the details of the strike more readily visible.

That's just one dude's opinion, though. :-)
But I think it's a nice purchase!

I like the coin, but if I was buying an AU coin, I would possibly hold out for one with some luster maybe a 55 or 58?

I'm thinking along the same line as Amazon, I paid full price for it and for that amount or little bit more I feel I'll be able to find one that'll really make me happy. I'm going to wait till some of the others pitch in too.
