CAC Approved, a victim of the ugly TrueView period, it is much nicer in hand as the CAC sticker would suggest.
Rotated Reverse Counterclockwise 45 degrees, nice original tone full meaty hair detail and all letters clear and visible. O-109
O-101 I beleive this is really O-101 6 over 5 not the O-105. I think that pcgs labels a lot of O-101,102,103,104 as their Knob 6 Large Stars for O-105 but I don't think they get it right often. Take a look at the picture and tell me what you think. As a side note there are two cuds on the obverse, one over the E and one between the R and the T. They are not super clear in the picture but they are very clear in person. I would be interested to hear from any other collectors that have an example with similar cuds.
O-107 is what this was labeled as from Dick Osburn but I think it is really only O-106.
Fantastic Electric Blue and Neon Purple toning around a rich golden tone on both the obverse and revers, a 10+ for eye appeal, better detail than you would think for a G06. O-105a I believe, but for sure O-105.
Fantastic Rainbow Toning around the Obverse and Reverse, 10+ for eye appeal. I could not get the picture to pick up the rainbow toned rims, so the coin should be seen in person
This set actually has an AU53 no drapery example, but it is labeled as a with drapery example so it cannot be registered. This exact coin and label error was referenced by Bill Bugert on page 24 of volume V of his Register of Seated Half Dollar Varieties.

This coin previously resided in an old green holder "OGH" but somebody tried to get it upgraded and TrueViewed. I have retained a picture of the old holder for posterity.

WB-24, R7, A new die marriage since the publication of the book. The discovery piece was an AU58. I purchased this example off of eBay and am aware of one more mint state example.
Old green label holder from David Lawrence (7****). Nice dark original tone. One of my favorites.

This coin is an upgrade from my original VF25. I had looked for this date in a pcgs holder for a long, long, time! Then when I finally got a nice VF25 along comes an even better XF45 within a few weeks, crazy coin luck. It was described from JJ Teaparty as - PQ. Looks AU. The perfect, original piece with no surface or rim problems. Toned in steel gray hues over boldly defined devices. Scarce.

Dark gray tone with fantastic originality, a real premium quality coin that has never been messed with, hard to find problem free coins in the seated dollar series.

Again, another great toned, never cleaned or messed with coin. Great eye appeal and it has a rim cud on the obverse at about 7 o''clock.

Old green holder. Nice original tone. I bought this off of ebay under the trade dollar listing, nobody else seemed to notice and I got a great deal on it. Those 1860s dated dollars are way underrated!

Purchased in an old ANACS holder and had it crossed to PCGS at the same grade.

This is actually a down grade from an AU50 coin that was in my collection. This coin was in an ANACS XF40 holder and I had it crossed to PCGS. The original tone is just fantastic, I enjoyed the eye appeal more on this coin than the AU50 so I down graded to please my eye regardless of grade number.

Without a doubt my best coin! This is the corner stone of my collection. Fantastic blue and purple toning around the periphery. Great even tone throughout, total premium quality, not just a dipped up xf. This was from David Lawrence (4****) from the Tarheel Collection if I remember correctly.

Nice even old brown tone, hints of orange around the periphery. From Dick Osburn. This coin has a die crack on the reverse running from the "OF" to the first two letters of "America".

Old Green Label Holder with fantastically original old toned surfaces, not much luster but great originality and detail.

I previously owned this coin in an old ANACS small white holder for over a decade and tried to cross it to PCGS once with no luck. Eventually I consigned it and sold it through GFRC in 2019 still in the old ANACS holder. Then it came back to me via eBay in September of 2024 crossed to a new PCGS holder with a nice TrueView and a variety attribution of WB-1. It was nice to see an old friend again.
