I'll tell ya right now, it will be the one that you didn't really want to sell. LOL I still say ... See which one matches up with your other Seated coins best or fits in the type set and compliments it. If you are having a tough time deciding which one to let go, I think you might regret selling one or the other after it's gone. Report this Post to the Staff
okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 07:34 am I like them both, but put a gun to my head, I'd go with the 1841. I like the toning on it. The mark on the 1841 appears to be a die crack, right? That also appeals to me. If you decide to sell the 1841, let me know. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 08:27 am I am leaning towards selling the 1840 50C, the 41-O seems to have a better tone in contrast with my other seated series half dollars and most of my Seated coinage. And the 1840 will bring more money onto the table towards my Seated dollar. Here are all of my Seated half dollars; I just need to find the right buyer, being a member of Liberty Seated Collectors Club, the LSCC Journal may target the specialized audience. Thank you all for your opinions! Edited by oih82w8 09/27/2017 08:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

Coin_Operator Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 8:24 pm If you are a type collector than choose a decent example, such as the 1841 and sell the one which will bring in the most money so you can keep building your type set. Me? I'd keep the 1840. Love the look and I'm a sucker for die cracks! Report this Post to the Staff

With the two other ones you posted, I think the 1841 one looks best amongst them. So that one gets my vote! Report this Post to the Staff
chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 10:28 pm I read the thread from the beginning and my first reaction was the '41-O. Just a nice original tone and I like the die crack. Then after seeing your other coins, I think it fits best with those. Is there an obverse rim Cud on the 41 as well? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 10:30 pm Not a fan of either one myself but the '41-O is the better example at the assigned grade. The 1840 reverse kills it as a 55 and has no chance at CAC IMO. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 09/27/2017 10:37 pm That gouge on the obverse of the 41 bothers me. Not really a fan of either. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 09/28/2017 08:07 am I like the 1840 better at first glance. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 09/28/2017 12:31 pm This is a tough one. I like the color of the 1840 better and the obverse detail on Miss Liberty's face and hair is mesmerizing! BUT! I would keep the 1841 for the over all better strike and details. I'm with JBuck: I don't envy your decision having to let either one of these go. Edited by Moe145 09/28/2017 12:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
