BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 2:06 pm /1/ it's rarer than the mintage would indicate. When the silver weight was reduced in 1853, a lot of the older silver coinage was melted. /2/ when it comes to grading, rarely does a nice reverse help. A worn reverse can knock the overall grade down, but - except in exceptional circumstances - even a really nice reverse won't raise the overall grade. Especially in a series such as the Seated Liberty where there just isn't that much fussy detail to start. Whatever you decide the final grade is, it's a cool piece and for $15 you can't have gone wrong! Now you need a Half Dime, quarter, half and dollar from NO from the same timeframe... Then you need a fake hand from the Halloween store, a couple old playing cards and a shadow box. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
twholt New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 3:11 pm Again, still learning. I didn't realize that the silver weight changed in 1853. I am enjoying discussion. This post has gotten several reads. As soon as I can figure out how to photograph the coins well I am about to post some more out of my collection for help grading and such. Thank y'all again for all the feedback and everything. Report this Post to the Staff
