Many of you know I've been putting together a Liberty Seated "Arrows at Date" set based on the Red Book listings. There are 45 and I currently have 44 of them. The missing one? 1853-O Dime Looking for one in the XF area, NGC or PCGS slabbed, original surfaces. But here's what I've got so far (click on the "eye" to see them): http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/wcm/CoinCustomSetView.aspx?s=19422
I will be sharing my 1852-O half dime with you when I get it on Christmas. 260000 minted and only 200 survivors (according to PCGS). I'm so stoked!
You will be surprised at what some of the members here can figure out from a coin just by the details they do see remaining. Some folks around these parts know some of the seated series by die marriage and major variety and can just about tell you if a coin like this is actually an 'O' or not bu very tiny, specific details. It amazes me all the time.
