johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/04/2009 11:49 am That 70cc is a crusty beaut! Looks AU-50ish, or at least 45? Report this Post to the Staff

True but only after about 1849. From 1840 to 49 they actually circulated as money. Probably the only time when silver dollars actively circulated in this country. Report this Post to the Staff
Catbert Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 8:08 pm I only own one and it was my first coin purchased after returning to the hobby....guess the grade (scratch on reverse shield is on the plastic)? Report this Post to the Staff
poconopete Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 8:36 pm The bust and the Seated dollars are beautiful coins. I've a old bust from my Dad, and as soon the effects on my bank account thanks to the ex resides I'd like to get a Seated dollar. Nice coin you have there. EF45+ Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 08/06/2009 9:01 pm Catbert, First of all..... to the Family! Secondly, that 1847 is gorgeous! The obverse shows flatness around the head and breast. But, I know little about these; that could be a strike characteristic. The reverse is stunning; I'd be tempted to go MS65! Let's say overall AU-58 (and I'm sure I am wrong!) Edited by copper nickel daddy 08/06/2009 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CCya Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 08/07/2009 02:57 am Sorry, forgot to guess the grade, PCGS AU55. How Close AM I ? Report this Post to the Staff
Catbert Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 08/07/2009 7:45 pm The 1847 is graded by PCGS as AU50. I think it should be a 53, but collectors always think their coins are undergraded, eh? There is a grading journey behind this coin, if you are interested: http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t45308/ Report this Post to the Staff
