Mike - With respect, I think your next moves should be to study up and go to as many LCSs and coin shows as possible. It is best to learn a subject inside out before purchasing big ticket items.  Edited by Coinfrog

Fuzzy thanks for the suggestion on the quote box but it didn't work. I'm old school so I use ie for browsing. Perhaps that's why.

You got a nice coin, both appearance-wise and for its rarity. I have an 1845, slabbed in G4, and your AU is a much better example. Many collectors are interested having one Seated dollar as a type coin. There isn't so much demand for the scarcer coins over the common ones. This tends to make scarce Seated dollars relatively affordable. I like the more common 1850's and mid 1860's coins - such as the 1850-O, 1853, 1859-S, 1863 and 1865 - for this reason. But I've been collecting coins of all kinds for 50 years, so am not typical of most collectors. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire

I'm wondering how much eye-appeal factors into the selling price. The good thing about Heritage is that they leave a pic of the coin on their site long after the sale. There is a notable difference between the coin that sold for $1293 and the $1196. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6931Too bad there is no link to the ebay coins. My original offer was for $1450. The owner stated that he was taking a loss but $1500 was the best he could do. I'll post a pic when I get it. Hopefully there was no funny business with the photo. |

The only way I'd pay $1450 for an AU50 1845 LS$1 right now is if the eye appeal were superior enough to warrant a CAC green bean. The series does have room for upward growth but demand is limited mostly to type collectors and a few diehard loyalists who have built or are building sets. I'm sure yours is a nice example & wish you would post some pictures of it here for us to drool over ;)
Passed on a solid G6 1846-O in a PCGS holder for $295 a couple nights ago, coin had good eye appeal in the grade, but I just didn't see enough of an upside to tie up the money.

Here are the pics from ebay. It shipped on Thursday and is scheduled to arrive on the 25. Seems a bit lengthy considering it's coming from NY. http://www.ebay.com/itm/C7242-1845-...AOSwoudW4yxfEdited by MikeF
