[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 7846184, member: 74624"]Today I took some of my excess coins to my local coin shop to get rid of. I couldn't leave without picking up at least one coin. Last month the LCS bought a large collection of coins from the elderly gentleman who inherited his father's coin collection. The father inherited most of the collection from his father, who passed away in 1946. This collection included many proof liberty seated dimes and quarters. They've been in this families hands for over 75 years. I was fortunate to buy a proof 1879 liberty seated dime today. After getting home I wish I would have bit the bullet and bought a beautiful cameo proof 1882 quarter from the collection. Anyhow, here are some crappy smartphone images of the dime. I didn't do justice in capturing the blue toning and nicely mirrored fields. I plan on submitting it to PCGS in a few days. My guess is that it will grade PR63. If it wasn't for the nick to the right of the head it would probably grade higher, although I usually suck at grading; especially series I'm not familiar with [ATTACH=full]1350563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1350564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1350565[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
