I figured I'd never own a nice high grade, full bands 1945-P, so I went the other direction and got a high grade one with a poor strike and an eroded die. The upside of a worn out die like this is LUSTER!   The toning is WAY nicer than the seller's photos, and with the light at the right angle, it really highlights the very weak central strike so typical of the date. |

I made my first Seated Liberty dollar purchase last week. A friend was liquidating a family friend's father's collection, and I really liked the look of this one:   I also bought 2 large cents last week (also a first), an 1847 in F condition (which is in a flip with waves and hard to photograph) and this 1851 with a weak 5:   Edited by Nobis1

Nobis1, I like the look of the dollar too. Very nice coin!  The Seated Liberty series is my personal favorite for the classics, for the modern era, i.e. the 20th Century to present, it's the Walking Liberty half, the Standing Liberty quarter and the Mercury dime all tied for most favorite.

Gyrene - thank you. The Seated Liberty series is nice. I probably paid too much, but it caught my eye; may also buy an XF/AU common date Seated Liberty quarter off of him. In the modern era, you are dead on about Walking Liberties (and SLQ's and Mercury's for that matter). They are my favorite. |

Really nice Seated Liberty dollar! Good XF type set coin, I bought a 1842 a few months ago myself. They are attractive coins. Edited by Joe2007

Opps forgot - I also picked up this 1882-S Morgan dollar - Caught my attention was the Feilds are ridiculously Shinny and some nice toning on the reverse that caught my eye (photos didnt help but was only a fast photo shoot just to get them in my lists ) Im going to try and get some proper lit adjusted right photos - these were just to show the new pick up :-) . Another I got for 35$ and couldnt pass by (i really never leave an interesting looking 1882 on a table if I see it , gota 82 addiction as well born in 1982 (oct13th and turned 13 on oct 13th haha living breathing bad luck epicenter lol) But here she is 1882 - S ProofLike feilds ? really ashame its so beat up but shes gorgeous to me :-)   |
