Yes my friends, today is my birthday. So I bought myself a nice present, a Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Dated 1870 and seldom seen in a high AU grade. On a lazy day at a TPG it might make a MS-60. In my opinion it’s not MS but it’s close. This is a Variety 4, Motto Above Eagle. This style was minted from 1866-1873 and only 633,900 were minted. It has a slight golden toning and it still has some mint luster. It has found a new home and currently resides in my Dansco 7070. I think it is stunning. Happy Birthday to myself! EEEEEEE
Happy birthday, Dave! Man, I am a softie for those blast white seated ladies and you got yourself a real looker!
She sure does look fragile sitting there all unprotected and such. You gonna have her interred into TPG plastic?
First, Happy Birthday! That coin is really beautiful. I don"t think it would have to be too lazy of a day to hit a low 60. My birthday is next week and already got mine. I think it is fairly common for people like us do this often (coins on bithdays and etc,) .
Happy Birthday Dave. Based upon your photos, I don't see why it wouldn't be an MS grade. Nice gift. But, put it away or your BP will continue to go up. LOL

Well, that's a few of us that have birthday's in the merry month of May. Happy Birthday Lardan. If your birthday coin is as good as Dave's you got a great present. Dave
