What Do You Think Of Seated Liberty Coinage?

I like them all, from Poor 1's to MS64's (the lowest and highest graded examples I own) and the Proofs, especially in cameo, are both scarce and stunningly beautiful all at once.

There are enough different designs, varieties, and scarcities to keep even the most dedicated collector on the hunt, CC's, O's and S's all to be had.

A type set from Half Dime to dollar can be put together relatively inexpensively in lower grades, and an upper AU or MS type set is a beautiful sight to behold especially when the 20 cent piece and dollar are included.

The seated series gives you and opportunity to own some Beautiful and very rare coins at reasonable prices. Because they are mostly type collected, the prices do not yet reflect the true rarity of the series.

And since we are sharing pics, here are some of my favorites from my collection.

I've been eyeing them. I really want to get a half dollar/quarter/dime/half dime type set, but ebay seems to be overpriced. What do you guys thinks a fair price for a well circulated example?

Is there such a display case/holder that will hold Half Dime all the way up to dollar coins (including 20C pieces)? I've seen long rectangular plastic holders that go from smallest to largest denomination for other coins, not sure if there is one for all the Seated coins.

The Seated coins are lovely but I think I prefer my Liberty standing or walking.

Just a starting collector, but I love the Seated halves! I'm sure the SLD looks nice too but good examples are pretty expensive.

I'm currently working on a seated half date set and just crossed 50% completion yesterday! Still a lot of tough dates to go though:

I know I'm going to get made fun of for having all of them imaged by PCGS. What can I say, I like their pictures!

It's the best! Even when it's a little shiny and worn.



This 1843 no motto dollar cost about $50, though it really only cost ebay bucks. But it's a conditional rarity and I will not let go of it jbuck.

My sentiments are pretty much the same as SeatedNut. A huge part of why I love coins is the history attached to them. And the history of the United States during that stretch is by far the most fascinating time period for me.

I don't worry too much about completing a set, I'm completely happy just cherry picking out beautiful coins. And if they have a low survival rate, all the better.

I must admit almost half of my entire collection are Seated coins.
