    Seated liberty proofs are my second favorite proofs only behind trade dollars

    They are coated. The cameo bleeds. I could not bust them out so I got two sets. They look better in hand.

    I trust you know how to size up a forgery in this series. As for myself, I wouldn't dare buy a coin like that without professional authentication.

    I'm pretty good and I was able to see in hand and I'm quite good with the seated series I would have had a hard time buying raw from pics only but when I can see a coin I can decide. Especially as surfaces and quality of a proof seated half would be a real challenge for the Chinese to fake. The biggest questions on a coin like this would be cleaning or other problems and in hand I can tell it was a negative. The seller is also quite knowledgable about coins and I've known him 20 years but for future resale etc it will be sent out to be graded shortly

    It's safe and in route to pcgs along with a whole crapload of others including that 1854-c $5 a draped bust half several other gold coins and a ton of bust and seated stuff down to about 50 raw ones worth slabbing and a dozen or so to cross

    I posted an empty pic before, but here is my "Permanent" Collection in its new home, my "Box of 20" has turned into a "Box of 50".

    All are CAC except those coins which are not accepted: Roosevelt Dime, ASE, SBA, AH Kennedy, SP Kennedy, Sac Dollar.

    I'm tempted to say that coin looks good for its grade, but that coin looks good, period!

    So I was hunting around for a 1982 zincoln for my small cent types, and just couldn't find anything even mildly interesting until I stumbled upon this coin. What could better represent the tawdry character of this third-world concoction better than a coin sprinkled with air bubbles? You don't have to click the like button, I won't be insulted. :)
