It's time to revisit this iconic coin type! We have done the 39 Days of Seated coinage previously, but this time, we're concentrating on the Seated Liberty half dollar only!  So... It's the 41 Days of Seated Liberty half dollars!How does this work? On the 4th of April, we all post all of our 1839 Seated Liberty Half Dollars (the first year of minting for this coin type), then on the 5th of April, we all post all of our 1840 Seated Halfs and so on all the way to the 1891 Seated half dollar! Each day will include all mint marks, errors and varieties!  4 Apr: 1839 5 Apr: 1840 6 Apr: 1841 7 Apr: 1842 8 Apr: 1843 9 Apr: 1844 10 Apr: 1845 11 Apr: 1846 12 Apr: 1847 13 Apr: 1848 14 Apr: 1849 15 Apr: 1850, 1851 & 1852 (pretty rare dates!) 16 Apr: 1853 17 Apr: 1854 18 Apr: 1855 19 Apr: 1856 20 Apr: 1857 21 Apr: 1858 22 Apr: 1859 23 Apr: 1860 24 Apr: 1861 25 Apr: 1862 26 Apr: 1863 27 Apr: 1864 28 Apr: 1865 29 Apr: 1866 30 Apr: 1867 1 May: 1868 2 May: 1869 3 May: 1870 4 May: 1871 5 May: 1872 6 May: 1873 7 May: 1874 8 May: 1875 9 May: 1876 10 May: 1877 11 May: 1878 12 May: 1879-1890 (rare ones too!) 13 May: 1891 I can't wait! So you have a few days to get your coins from the safe, photograph them, crop, edit blow-up etc. And then, on the 4th of April... Post away!    Edited by Moe145

Thank you Moe for leading us through these exciting "Days of" threads. As some of you know I love the Draped Bust and Capped Bust Halfs. I don't have any seated halfs so I think I may need to buy some! This may be a budget breaker!
As an aside I saw a post from Fuzzy317 regarding the Canadian Large Cents thread. Those of you like old copper may be interested. I have almost all the large cents from 1858 through 1920. They are awesome old copper and so inexpensive. Very low mintage numbers and I paid only 2 - 3 dollars for many of them.

Sounds great.  Don't have that many Seated halves yet but it is a series that I really like. I'm thinking I might acquire some more of them in the near future, hopefully in time to post on this thread. I have seen some of Moe's and others on here in various threads and I'm in awe. They are very attractive coins.   Edited by Joe2007

Didn't know much about the Seated Liberty Half Dolllars and thought I would look into buying one to join in, but then I checked the prices. So instead of particapting I will be an envious observer! |
