Dear fellow Coin Talk personnel, I have a Hallmark Graded 1865 S AU55 Half Dime Overdate. Does anyone have an idea of it's value ? Thanks johnnycycle
Don't know how much an overdate will effect the value but auction records for this piece are around $600.
What does "Hallmark Graded" mean? Is that the grading company? Never heard of 'em. Need pics to evaluate. Joe
Hallmark was a grading service started by David Bowers, they are out of business now and I believe that PCI uses the same holders. I may be incorrect about this.
Yes you are correct PCI bought out Hallmark. Hallmark slabs themselves are collectible. The grading was pretty accurate and the holder is/was one of the best around though not the prettiest design. Johnny we would need to see pictures of the coin to give a fair assessment of value
