A bit of weakness on the reverse, but this is a nice looking coin overall with a fair amount of remaining luster. Report this Post to the Staff

coins92 Pillar of the Community United States 851 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 8:13 pm Very Nice AU 58. I've been trying to add some Seated Liberty's to my collection. So far I don't have a single one in my collection Report this Post to the Staff
gibby3 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 08/19/2009 9:08 pm I'll say AU55 because of the weakness in the eagles head and the motto but still very nice , this is one of my favorite series Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/20/2009 10:37 am Thanks for the comments! You are all nice to my Seated halves! I do think ANACS was a bit harsh here, which is why I wanted additional opinions. It no longer resides in the holder, but in my type set. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 08/21/2009 07:53 am Johnny, I don't know how I missed this thread ... guess I need more sleep. I think ANACs was harsh due to the really weak reverse. Several of the motto letters barely show "I_ ___ WE TRUST". San Francisco pieces are usually hammered. But don't fret ... this is still a gorgeous coin and deserves a place of honor in your 7070. Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 06:49 am ANACS gave this a 50 because of the motto a great 58 in my book. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 12:59 pm NICE obverse!! Wow! The reverse shows very minimal wear but I think the motto being poorly struck really brought down the grade. I personally think, taking into acount the poorly struck motto, this coin should have been graded AU-58. Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 1:16 pm I would of given it AU-53. Half of the motto is obliterated along with a bit of weakness on the obv. Well at least you could pick it up at AU-50 prices. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 7:18 pm Thanks guys! It's been so long since I've looked at this thread, I forgot I posted it. I also am not used to my new avatar yet. I opened and was like, "wow, I have a coin that looks JUST LIKE that! Who took my coin?" I must be getting old. Report this Post to the Staff
