BTW, hairlines-aside that seated dollar ain't that bad, and is more attractive than most of them, IMO.
Nice coins. Wonder how much they'd be worth outside those expensive slabs? ;) All cynicism aside, collect what you enjoy! :)

A cautionary tale I found this post on "A cautionary tale" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "CoinTalk Thread of the Week Of The...
