<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 7786684, member: 86853&quot;]Like nearly everything else in American Numismatics - other than top pop stuff - prices for half cent varieties have been a little weak. The current zeitgeist in the field seems to be to get a small number of high grade coins rather than a more extensive collection of varieties. Early copper, though, tends not to fluctuate the way other coin types do. Historically, prices will be stable for several years then bump up and be stable again at the higher level. Repeat. </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that the prices quoted in guides like the Red Book come from consultants, generally dealers, who like to sell at the highest prices possible. It is entirely possible that Whitman got a new, more realistic consultant for the late date half cents in the last year or two. </p><p><br /></p><p>Auction prices realized are a much more accurate guide to pricing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
