The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Good morning. It is Thursday, March 5th.

Today our type is the Liberty Seated Half Dollar No Motto (1839-65). Note that this does not include the Arrows at Date coins from 1853-1855. That will be tomorrow's type.

My most recent (though bygone) example, and probably my "best of type", was this lovely 1844 in an old small ANACS AU53 holder. It had quite nice luster and I think it was slightly undergraded.

Seated NO Motto:

 

Good morning. It is Friday, March 6th.

Today our type is the Liberty Seated Half Dollar Arrows (1853-55). Since the Dansco 7070 album and the associated PCGS Registry type set we're playing off of do not distinguish the 1873-1874 Arrows coins as a separate type, I suppose you could post one of those, too. But no other post-1866 With Motto coins, since that will be tomorrow's type.

As it happens, my most recent purchase was a half dollar of this type: an 1855-O with a great crusty original look. I dig those quirky slanted 5s, too.

 

Good morning. It is Saturday, March 7th.

Our type for today is the Liberty Seated Half Dollar with Motto (1866-1891).

The only one I presently own is this example from my "holey" 19th century type set.
