I wish I went to Baltimore with my daughter this weekend, she is at a flea market, she sent pictures of an 1847o Seated dollar, he only wanted $45.00, appeared to be f12 from phone picture. 1st suspicion $45.00 2nd suspicion looked a bit off the best I could tell 3rd suspicion I looked it up in blue book of u.s. coins, they did not make a New Orleans seated that year. Decision, I told her to pass on all his coins, the morgans, the V nickels and anything else he had, I wish I could have been there for that one. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Haha. LSDs were only minted in NO in 46, 50, 59 and 60. Good advice to stay clear of that seller without good working knowledge of these coins.
You should post pics of the coin if you have them incl obverse with date and reverse with mintmark.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I find it especially endearing that your daughter took the time to notify you of potential coin deals. If she looks at coins for you enough, perhaps she will join our forces for the fun we do have.

Pictures would be great to see. If only it were real, $45.00 would have been a steal!

coinlover1899, $45 is still a steal, but the wrong kind.
