Well, yeah, I'd love to have a complete Seated dollar Set! I'd put it in a custom wood frame on my wall, right next to my complete date/mintmark 1907-32 St. Gaudens $20 Double Eagle Set...  |

I'm a fan of all the Seated denominations. My budget limited me to just a single example of with motto and without motto specimens. I would like to add an 1870-CC one of these days.... Here's my with motto coin. It's an 1872-S certified XF-45 by PCGS; I had submitted it for crossover from an ANACS slab at the same grade. It's one of my favorite coins. I was actually a bit surprised that PCGS agreed it was XF-45; I thought it was more solid as an XF-40. CCya, your coin appears to have stronger detail than mine under the toning. If mine is a 45 yours should definitely qualify as a 50. Nice and crusty!    Edited by Jaobler

They are definitely expensive and hard to come by. We don't acquire or sell much in the way of high-end coins, but I checked the back side of the website and saw that a few years ago we had an 1850 P graded Fine that sold for $560. But that's apparently the only one we ever had.

they were shipped overseas and melted like crazy at the time they were made because the silver value was worth more than face if I remember corretly. The Gobrecht dollars with the flying eagle on the back are even harder to come by than these, I've never even seen one of those in a shop before. -XoG |

That 70cc is a crusty beaut! Looks AU-50ish, or at least 45?

From 1840 to 49 they actually circulated as money. Probably the only time when silver dollars actively circulated in this country. |

The bust and the Seated dollars are beautiful coins. I've a old bust from my Dad, and as soon the effects on my bank account thanks to the ex resides I'd like to get a Seated dollar. Nice coin you have there. EF45+  |

Catbert, First of all.....  to the Family! Secondly, that 1847 is gorgeous! The obverse shows flatness around the head and breast. But, I know little about these; that could be a strike characteristic. The reverse is stunning; I'd be tempted to go MS65! Let's say overall AU-58 (and I'm sure I am wrong!)

The 1847 is graded by PCGS as AU50. I think it should be a 53, but collectors always think their coins are undergraded, eh? There is a grading journey behind this coin, if you are interested: http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t45308/ |
