Quote: A 20 cent Seated Liberty. Great coin! I like the contrast between the field and the devices. Nice brown color too.

Today's coin is a 1838 large cent. From 1835-1839, the Liberty Head was modified so that it appeared younger (and to my eyes more appealing then the 1816-1835 large Matron head). The 1838 is the largest of the mintage but the prices are relatively close to each other for most of the other dates. With this one I move up to 83 and 14 more coins to complete the set.

I was back and forth between this one and an AU 55 that was dipped (but still straight graded ) I ended up going with the higher grade and a little toning.

Today's coin is the Shield with Rays.   The coin has a pretty large die crack.   And with this coin I finished the 5 cent (Nickels)   11 coins to go.

And Steve, I do thank you for your advice!! As the next batch of coins may not be AU-MS, I am actively looking for coins that have visual appeal for their grade. And while you can't please everyone, I really like the "cheetah" look of the Half Cent, and while its my lowest grade (so far), to me its a pretty coin.

Great adds hfj! I've been meaning to do a showcase of my nickels since I've had that part of the type set done for a while, but I'm actually bidding on 2 upgrades ending Thursday, both V nickels. One is a 83 NC PCGS 66CAC, 1904 PCGS 66+CAC. I thought they'd be more expensive but they're actually really reasonably priced. I don't need to upgrade, but if it stays reasonable I might go for it.
