[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1496761, member: 22585"]Lately I have been venturing into some new territory. Meaning, I am letting other people buy all the Jefferson nickels for a while. I decided to start trying to find some older silver collectible coins that aren't slugs. I started by upgrading my 1877 half dollar, and the other 3 came along for the ride from a dealer friend. I feel the 1877 had a light cleaning sometime in her career, but she sure is pretty. It was raw, and for the price I couldn't let it go. A beautiful AU, in my opinion. [B]1877 Seated liberty Half Dollar[/B] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn2.thecoinnection.com/shared_ii120791115010a69a09bcc.jpg[/IMG] My dealer hooks me up with these blazer Walkers (the short set years/mm's) whenever he gets them. I again, can never turn them down for the price. I suppose these are what some might refer to as sliders. Maybe? The only sliders i ever heard of are hamburgers from White Castle.
