Hi all, stopped by my LCS again to pick up some silver and noticed this coin there in a PCI gold label (never heard of em so didn't pay that much attention)... very much cleaned, has some nicks on the coin and rim... but then again I was able to get it for $200 (actually $175 since I sold them an extra Dansco album I had). For the details it isn't too bad the obverse looks Fine details but the reverse seems better than Fine. Maybe net would be fine details - cleaned, damaged but overall for basically under $200 it seems like I can't find anything that isn't Good details or under. Finally took the plunge and now I only need one more Seated dollar to finish up another Dansco 7070 page! Thanks for looking!   |

Old cleaning but I wouldn't be ashamed of it....especially for less than 200$! Fine to very fine details in this era of coin grading!

I'm in agreement with westernsky F-VF details For coins grading under AU-55, Osburn and Cushing prefer to use the reverse to determine a coin's grade. AU-55 and higher the focus shifts to the obverse to look for wear http://seateddollarvarieties.com/Grading |

F obverse, VF reverse, cleaned with rim nick. All in, not a great example.

For $175-$200 it's a good deal. Fine+ Details - Cleaned/Rim Damage.

And my type album is definitely a budget type set so for the cost and details of the coin I figured this would be good enough until I am older and can actually afford something better. Thanks for the replies!

Do you actually like this coin? Is it something you'd like to keep and enjoy in the years ahead?

With coins at this price range, as long as I can relatively well see the details (and I am a bit more lax with Seated coinage because there are a bunch in the 7070) and I feel like I get it at a good price, I am content with it for years to come. My focus isn't so much on having the best coins but more a type set of US and world so tl:dr yes I am happy :) |

vf dets - harshly cleaned
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."

Holding a piece of history in your hand like that makes it a good coin for the price. Like you, I don't have to have the best in order to enjoy the "having." If I has this coin, I doubt I would ever get rid of it even if I did get an upgrade.
Too few were made, and they all saw an amazing era of US history. You never know who held it/spent it at one time.
