I almost decided to wait until after the holidays to list any more
coins, but decided to squeeze a couple more in this week. I'm not
sure if I will bother listing any more this year or not.
First is an affordable (a relative term) 1871 Seated Liberty dollar
that I grade VG. This one's been in my collection since 1981. It has
even wear for the grade and show no signs of cleaning or abuse. It
does have a couple of small rim nicks that I noted in the auction but
I don't think these detract.
Second is an 1859 Indian Cent. This is a one year type and the
grading books don't have a separate grading secion for these so I
pretty much graded it from the obverse as a VF35. It's possible it
could be an incomplete strike EF40 but I don't see enough detail in
the feather tips so I'll stick to calling it a high end VF. This one
shows some signs of circulation but is still a nice evenly colored
original coin. It is a light brown color typical of these copper
nickel coins thought the images make the coin look a bit browner than
it really is.

They close Sunday. The dollar has already attracted some interest but
the poor indian is largely neglected at this point. Thanks for taking
a look. :)
