<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CircCam, post: 3243816, member: 85675&quot;]The Seated quarters are actually my favorite US type.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I avoided cracking slabs as much as I could for this, so the challenge was locating raw, problem-free crusty specimens, ideally with contrast between the fields and devices. I think you have a great idea in buying the literature and joining a club.&nbsp; The seated stuff is full of fun varieties, so if you arm yourself with knowledge during your search you may find some really interesting coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>The only particularly interesting seated variety I cherry picked was this 1860/1860 RPM:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]849753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]849754[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>My process was/is hunting for Seated coins with this look:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]849756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]849755[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]849759[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>There were times when I did opt out of CircCam look though- in the following case I loved the contrast look of the 1877, but the 1875 was superior coin in my opinion.&nbsp; (That decision was TOUGH but I had already cracked the ‘75 and would have had to crack the ‘77 as well!)&nbsp; There are so many decisions involved with a set like this... I didn’t really consider that when I started.[ATTACH=full]849761[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]849757[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note [USER=20695]@gbandy[/USER] - Cool to hear your story- I got into collecting because I inherited coins from my great-grandfather.&nbsp; It’s a great way to continue your family history! Can’t wait to see what you do with your album![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
