Here's a recent buy that I'm enjoying. It cost more than a generic Seated half in comparable grade but that CC mintmark is definitely worth a premium. I guess this would meet requirements for a "circulation cameo." It looks original and undamaged, just worn and with a thick patina.

With no trace of LIBERTY remaining but with nearly full rims, I'd grade it "Good". Might deserve a CAC sticker as PQ for that grade!

I often prefer worn and circulated coins to mint state ones. Excellent example!

Nice looking coin and a strong Good for sure. Flip a coin on whether it's G04 or G06.

I'd grade it G06.

I have a worse one - sorry for bad pics...

First seated coin I ever owned - bought it in my high school days. I think I paid around 3.00-5.00 for it back then.
