    image.jpg image.jpg I previewed a local auction one thing they listed was a 1872 seated dollar when I saw it it was with a bunch of junk silver wondered why until I saw it at first I was dissapointed cause it was a coin I'd really like then I realized it was kinda fun and a period alteration and I left a bid on it (to the mods sorry if it's too much but it is how the coin looks pm me if it's over the top)

    If you look tho even in my crappy pics is clearly a real and once fairly high grade seated dollar is a shame but a good laugh anyway
    ive seen the contemporary copies and tokens and lower denomination coins altered but never seen a seated dollar altered this way

    It is actually a very collectible piece and definitely worth a lot more than junk silver.

    If you are going into coin dealing save that one and put it in a display case. it will turn a few heads at coin shows.

    Yes a potty dollar, many are crude, some are VERY well done. they also come on other denominations. I've seen every seated denomination except a potty half dime. And they can get quite pricey, especially for the lower denominations.

    Which is why I left a bid far over the junk value is mixed in with a bunch of 60s vintage Washington quarters

    Most of the one's I've seen are made from Trade Dollars and usually sell for over $100. Liberty's posture seems to beg for a caption, like, "Honey, can you bring some toilet paper?"

    Really?! I never would have guessed. I knew of about Hobo Nickels, but "Potty Dollars"?

    Color me surprised!

    @Mainebill now you have to complete the set. Then you can put them in a display case and hang them up in your bathroom. That's the perfect decor right there.

    Would be perfect for my bathroom which includes a vintage r. Crumb tommy toilet poster and a roll of generic toilet tissue for cheap ***holes (on the label) among other things tho I'm 38 I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old
