Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 6:49 pm Just thought I would post these two Seated Liberty dollars that I purchased for my type set that I'm currently assembling. Bought these about a 6-8 months ago but I thought I would post them here. Please give me your opinion on grade, these are two of the more expensive pieces in my collection but also my favorites. 1842 No Motto 1871 With Motto Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 7:29 pm I'd go with EF-40 for the 1842, or EF-45 if there is some luster persisting around the stars, date, and/or legends. There are quite a few small contact marks but no obvious "problems". The 1871 looks like a VF-30. Nice coins, perfect for a circulated type set. Report this Post to the Staff

To my amateur grading skills comparing the 1842 to some other EF-45 coins I think that it is really close. It is considerably darker around the stars which might be the remnants of some luster.

wvparadox Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 9:20 pm Nice coins, thanks for sharing. They get pretty expensive don't they ? But you can enjoy them for a long, long time, and there's lots of other things in this world that you can spend your money on that are gone in just a moment Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 9:27 pm Excellent pickups! And we all know these are not cheap acquisitions! I like VF-35 for the '42 and VF-30 for the '71. Fantastic coins! Report this Post to the Staff

The common dates start at around 230 in G4 according to Numismedia and go up in price fairly rapidly with a substancial jump in price between EF40 and AU50. There are also a lot of problem Seated dollars and fakes out there so you have to be really careful. I bought mine from a trusted dealer in my area. I think I might have paid a little too much if the 1842 is a VF35 not a EF40 but I guess that is the cost of getting decent coins. On the 1871 I think the coin dealer I bought it from cut me a really good deal. Edited by Joe2007 04/01/2012 10:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
