<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 339566, member: 12718&quot;]Hello to everyone - I&#039;ve been lurking for awhile....this is one of my favorite places to watch and learn.&nbsp; I&#039;m a returning collector from my childhood and, as I reach my mid-life crisis, I&#039;m looking to the hobby to rekindle my old passion and to meet new people.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I visited my first show in St. Louis this month and my objective was to acquire my first Seated Dollar (I won&#039;t be able to afford too many of these).&nbsp; The show had about 130 tables and most of the seated dollars were harshly cleaned.....very sad and very disappointing.&nbsp; I did see a beautiful $3500 version that I would have died to own, but I just don&#039;t have that kind of cash.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There was one dollar, however, that was calling my name.&nbsp; The mintage on this 1847 is only 140,000 and it was sold as AU condition.&nbsp; Will the experts on the board indulge me with your grading skills?&nbsp; What grade would you assign?&nbsp; (Forgive the pictures, my first time ever shooting a coin)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1847%20Seated%20Dollar/1847ObverseFullView.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obverse detail</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1847%20Seated%20Dollar/1847ObverseCloseup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reverse</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1847%20Seated%20Dollar/1847ReverseFullView.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Reverse detail</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh297/IndianaCatbert/1847%20Seated%20Dollar/1847ReverseCloseup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>OK, what do ya think?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>:hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
