1853 seated half dollar arrows & rays

I have the oppurtunity to buy this for $20.00 ,Im not really into collecting seated halves but a friend of mine is selling off some of his collection. Is this atleast worth the 20.00 bucks? thank you for any help.

Yes even with the cleaning and rim ding that as a VF coin that is a one year type coin is a good deal IMO.

 

cool , thank you LindeDad.

 

I would buy it. $20 isn't too far from melt value so there's not much risk. Plus, as LindeDad said, it is a pretty cool half.

I'd definitely buy that for 20.00.

 

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

 

I would buy that coin for $40.00. I really like the look, and the rim ding doesn't bother me.

 

Your friend must be in some kind of emergency, or have never heard about the Internet, because on eBay this will go for between $50+ to $80, according to completed listings from last week.

 

Heck yeah ... nice coin for a twenty-spot. Maybe he would give you some more elbow room if you bought a handful ..

 

Agreed, that coin in 3 grades lower is still worth $20. Its a very attractive one year type.

 

I would certainly pay $20 for that coin

 

Alright I bought it along with a 1961 proof set for another twenty. Thank you all for your replies .
