The Seated Fan Club

I've seen both. The trade dollars more common. Seen seated potty half dollars too

Ok

 

Lots of awesome coins, folks! I've always liked the seated series. Even like 'em circulated.

 

Earlier I posted my LS "Arrows at Date" set.
But LS coins are not limited to just those.
I also have a Type Set which includes other LS varieties.
Here's my Half Dimes:








I'll post the other values as time permits.

 

So are there collectors out there working on circulated sets of any seated denomination, trying for a complete or nearly complete set, I mean? I once put together forty-some seated dimes (probably avg. nice VG-F) before drifting into other things. I know they were mostly the easier ones, but I do think I will come back to it someday.

 

I have a 1876 Holed set, it's posted on the first page of this thread

 

Yes. I have been working on the quarters for over a year now. So far I have about 30, 25 of the more common dates with a few tougher dates but nothing rare really, and then about 5 varieties in the set.

I expect I'll get as close to being done as I will ever come sometime around 2047

 

Okay, here's my LS Dimes:

 

And now my LS Quarters:

 

Then there are my LS Half Dollars:

 

Finally my LS Dollars:

 

Love the no stars dime and no drapery quarter. Very nice coins. Ones I would be proud to own.

 

Couple more newbies that just came in. This will probably do it for me for a bit. I've been on a frenzy lately and need to cool down for the winter time

1877-CC AU-53



1877-S AU-50

Another no stars. This my type set coin

 

here are all my Seated liberty coins (photos are subpar, but I did them quick):

1882 dime - got it in junk silver




1854 & 1856 Quarters - bought for about ~$12 each at an antique mall








1872 Quarter - bought for $12 at a LCS two weeks ago. The scratches/gouges are harsh, but for $12 I think it's a good buy for a relatively low mintage and as a fun lark.




1859-O Half - bought for $15 a year ago at my preferred LCS




1871 Half - bought for about $110 from a great coin shop in my region

 

Apparently I lied and couldn't last more than about 3 days.

You have to jump on these coins when they present themselves though. This is a tough date to begin with, but popular consensus also thinks that many of these were melted in the Great Melt of '53. 1853 that is.





I usually don't go for coins in this low of a grade, but like I said, grab em when you see them for this date.

There are a few on eBay, mostly similar in grade or lower, and mid mint state. No AUs at the moment, which is what I am after.

However this coin was acquired with PLENTY of room to make a nice gain to put toward a better quality version. Plus this seems like a nice piece for the grade. All the other 1848 VF-30/35s are priced around or above $500

 

Nice info on that Melt of '53, I got an 1852-O half dime (260000 minted to begin with, many were melted and only about 200 exist now) for the Christmas season. It's on the top of the 4th page.
