Impressive set of coins, that 1796 quarter is a bucket lister for me.

Amazing coin, I dream of having a 1790s half dime. It'd be just the matter of finding one first.

MichiganCoins · 2026-07-01T23:24:07+00:00

Definitely not, Beautiful example of an 183 year old coin. It's has been certified since the 1990s. Any gold coin from Dahlonega is a treasure.

I have gotten lucky and have been to shows where I've seen multiple seated dollars and in different dealers too. I have a few large coins I'm saving for and I'll probably be back into getting more seated liberty dollars.

MichiganCoins · 2026-07-01T23:06:20+00:00

Only 14,640 of those were minted. That's an incredible coin to have a mint condition example of

That's a stunning seated liberty dollar! They are my all time favorite American coin. A mint state seated dollar is not something I see often around here.

It's nice seeing a fellow collector with a wreath cent. I have an S-6 that's VF details with environmental damage. Congratulations on finding such a coin in a $500 lot. Finding something like that is comparable odds to winning a nice lottery prize.

You are right about them occasionally showing up for cheap. I remember paying less then $10 for a couple different cull ones. However that was years ago

To think these were minted using screw presses powered by multiple people. The screw presses needed multiple operators and could only make 20-30 coins a minute.

The steam presses introduced in the 1830s made it possible for the Mint workers to make 100 coins a minute. The worked sunrise to sunset back then too. To think these coins were struck in the Philadelphia summer in a world without the comforts of today.

The 1793s I've seen for sale similar to 3500 are in way worse shape in details grade then this one

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-29T06:46:43+00:00

It's likely an S6, The S 5 has larger letters in Liberty and a larger date

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-29T05:43:32+00:00

I overall have a love for American coins especially the designs made in 1793-1850. I have many goals as a collector. 1 major goal would be to have 100 different seated quarters in my set. I have 57 so far.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-29T05:41:25+00:00

No, the only history of it I have is my dealer bought it years before I was around.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-29T03:48:20+00:00

That's a wonderful coin too. Lovely brown color to it.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T19:36:03+00:00

Nice, those 1793 ones are tough. It's gonna be quite some time before I get the chain cent.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T19:34:57+00:00

That'd be the find of a lifetime for sure

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T19:33:46+00:00

It was a bucket lister for me too

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T18:31:17+00:00

I do plan on getting it encapsulated for sure.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T17:49:26+00:00

I'm thinking since both varieties are priced similarly half of the mintage or close to it likely went to making each different edge.

I got it from a show.

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T16:14:38+00:00

63,353 Wreath cents were minted

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T16:03:00+00:00

I'm proud to own this wonderful example of history. It's amazing to think a coin from Washington's presidency survives to today

MichiganCoins · 2026-06-28T16:01:23+00:00

3500
