B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

I don't know the series enough to even venture a grade.

Nice little semi-key issue. I think it would go low VF, maybe even VF25, and it carries a premium that would likely please you.

Same here...I'm fairly comfortable with grading the Barber series and Morgans, but besides that, I'm quite the noob

Seated stuff ain't easy. The condition of LIBERTY and the shield is important, and with this issue the reverse from 11AM to 3PM defines that face. At least, for me.

This one's worth a slab if you ever choose to go that way.

I do have a few Seated coins, but in way worse condition, so I haven't really had a chance to learn how to grade them above good condition.

It is actually going to get slabbed. Recently joined NGC, and they are convenient enough to allow Europeans to send them through their German office (for a small fee of course) and therefore I don't have to worry about shipments getting lost, outrageous shipping fees, or even worse, a 25% customs charge when the coins get returned...

This looks like a nice original coin. I'd grade it VF-25.

Looks VF30 to me. Good luck on your grades. With a tad bit of luck, this one could be worth $500.

they are good to see. Seems like a descent grade on this one as well.

I think you will need to create a tally post for these.
