10 dollar 1877 seated half score!

I picked this up today on a road trip to Idaho we stopped in a little town in the middle of no where to get gas. And across the street was a little thrift store so my curiosity got the best of me and I asked my wife to pull over there and I went in and looked around (mainly for coin's) and they had One lonely seated half I asked how much and they said 10 bucks it's been here a really long time and without hesitation I gave them 10 bucks. And I know it's rough and cleaned and scratched but a 1877 seated half for 10 bucks I couldn't beat it I'm happy with it.

Nice pickup!

 

Score!

 

I would have bought it too.

 

And see if the coin sticks to a magnet

 

I don't see that it is cleaned and scratched like you said it is just low grade. $10 was a good price for it.

 

In G04 it says $45. This is prob one of those AG03. Still a good deal.

 

Definitely I replaced the whole flip it was driving me crazy!

 

In brighter lights you can see the fine line scratches but I'm happy with it

 

It definitely doesn't stick to a magnet!

 

Awesome score! People always tell me that coins are overpriced at thrift and antique stores. I still look. You never know what you're going to get! Congrats!

 

I will never pass up any Seated coin at junk silver price.

 

I've paid more for a scratched Barber.

 

Good deal. I would have bought it too.

 

I just added one to my "Wish List." Even in low grades they look pretty good.
