Post your SEATED coins.

Wow! That's a practically flawless example of a great design, and I love darkly toned coins like that. Good luck finding it again.

I also added this "gem." Very ugly and very scarce. It just needs a dip.
I purchased it because, well, I wanted one, and it illustrates how the WB-5 and WB-2 can be separated by arrow position at low grades - right arrow even with tops of digits (WB-2) versus right arrow clearly positioned below the tops of the digits (WB-5). Otherwise, this example is too worn to be identifiable using BB's diagnostic character states.

1874-S WB-5 - the worst of five examples known


Here's one that got away from me when someone hit the BIN button while I tried negotiating a lower price with the seller. I was upset about losing it for a day. This coin shows the up-pointed arrows and the top edge of the right arrow lower than the digits = WB-5

 

Some recent purchases.

1874-S WB-2 PCGS AG3 - through eBay. The die marriage was identified by Varslab. The funny thing is the diagnosis on the back of the slab cannot be used to identify this particular coin because the diagnostic characters are worn off the coin. One has to use arrow position relative to the date digits to identify this DM properly.



1878 "Wimpy First 8" ANACS AU55 - Great Collections, now heading to CACG


1869 NGC XF40 CAC - GFRC


1869-S - raw off eBay. I've shown this 1869-S WB-2 before when it was purchased raw. It was recently graded by CACG at XF45; here's the photos. It has more of a golden tan color rather than an orange and gray color shown here.



1867 VF25 - raw off eBay. I still like to find nice, raw coins off of eBay and add them to my set.

 

Here's another SLH I picked up today.

I forgot this coin.

I could not find any graded examples, so I started looking at raw coins on eBay.
