Hello everyone! These are my Seated coins in better condition.I picked them out.(some dirts on the H10C)






Speaking of my beginning of collecting Seated coins,I have to picture this magazine.It was my classmates that gave it me.He doesn't collect coins.But he knew I like coins.And he is a Mickey Mouse fan.He subscribed the MM magazine.
This is a day in the winter of 2015.I still remember that afternoon I went to school,he just sat behind me .As he saw me,he gave me this magazine and said:" There is a lottery in this magazine to draw coins,have a look!" (I can't imagine that a fat man who always bullies me will remember my hobby haha) Here is the picture


Anyway,it was the first time I saw seated liberty coin.And I can still remember my feelings at that moment.I was just completely attracted by the design of this coin. Specifically, I was attracted by the Seated liberty and the surrounding stars. A streamlined design is very in line with my aesthetic. My only thought at that time was to get this coin. But the above lottery process is too complicated for a primary school student who just started using smart phones. I really couldn't understand the lottery process at that time. And I didn't know how to shop online.
But I really want to get this coin. I still remember that weekend when I took a bus to the coin market, I asked shop by shop if there was such a half dollar. If not, I will ask the seller to pay attention to it and notify me immediately if there is such coin. However, there is not even one seated coin in the whole coin market. I was very disappointed and thought it must be a very precious coin, so it was difficult to find. I think I bought a lot of Seated coins later, which is also a kind of retaliatory consumption.
And this is my first US coin that my deskmate gave to me.Which made me think half a dollar is a very small coin



At that time, I could not have expected to get so many Seated coins now, which is a great sense of achievement.
Hope you enjoy this story#65281;

That's a fantastic way to start, and a good story as well! Everyone has their beginning story, and yours is to cherish forever.

P.S. Is that cAlCuLuS?!?!?

The paragraphs are fine to read the way it posted and thankfully each sentence begins with a capital letter.

Your collection has come a long way. Just imagine how it will look in another 8 years!

Six years ago I made it through a math minor and finished more than half a dozen upper division and graduate math courses, but I don't know how much help I could be with your homework now. It's truly incredible how much one can learn in a short time and then how quickly it can be forgotten.

I love the Seated Liberty series. I've filled out quite a bit of the half dimes and dimes (some in pretty high grades) but haven't done much with the quarters, halves, and dollars yet. I guess I'm also one coin away from finishing the 20 cents, just need that 76!

Thank you for your wishes!
I also wish you success in your work and good health!

@chirrrs
Indeed, I must follow the forgetting curve to learn, especially some boring subjects. In high school, there were teachers to discipline me. For me, self-discipline is more uncomfortable than being forced to discipline .In college, I sent messages to those teachers to ask questions, and they rarely replied to me. The questions I couldn't solve still needs me to find some video. I also want 20 cents very much. I envy that you can buy them easily. I can only buy 20c abroad. I also need to pay high freight charges and taxes that may be levied, and bear the risk of being confiscated by the customs.
The unique starless version in dime and half dime is very attractive!
