$949. Just kidding Dan! I'm the high bidder. : ) Now seriously, the best way to value a piece is to view the completed auctions for similar pieces of the same date/type/grade/etc. CoinFacts compiles and publishes all prices realized for U.S. coins from completed public coin auctions. Coins like yours jump big time at XF40. Here's the averages for the last year on PCGS & NGC 1807 Draped Bust halves in VF30, VF35, and XF40. VF30 = $693, VF35 = $935, and XF40 = 1,536. The way to make money here is to get that coin into a major TPG XF holder. It will add $500 to the value if you can do it. Best of luck!
Ithink Fishy One got the values pretty well . The thing to consider is if your coin has any problems . Yours doesn't as far as I can see . Next is it an a , b , or c coin for the grade . A would be high for the grade and might pass at the next higher grade if your lucky . B is average for the grade C is low for the grade . Since I don't know Draped bust halves I couldn't tell you wether its A ,B , or C . The A coins would sell at a premium , and the C coins would sell at the bottom of the price for that grade if there was a problem it might sell a little lower . rzage
Yea, its an A-. I bought it for $950 from heritageauctions but with the money constraints of college, I gotta sell and I'm hoping this will bring more money than $1000.
I think the coin could upgrade to XF40 or 45. The detail is there and the coin has very appealing surfaces.
I think it has a good shot at XF40 as well. Best bet to get a 40 would be to crack it out of the holder and send it to NGC but that's risky to say the least.
