<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2382916, member: 24314"]They are collectible. I have paid $40 for the 1/2 cent I own but that was about ten tears ago and the owner had no interest in it. I just threw out a number that I thought was fair. Probably could have gotten it for much less. I'll bet a Large cent can sell for over $100 depending how good it is. Some electros are crude w/round blobs and lots of white metal showing.</p><p> </p><p>I have a Seated Half dollar electrotype In PROOF copper (mirror, flat rims, wire edge, sharp reeding) that MUST have been made by the U.S. Mint as the only way it can be identified as NOT A PATTERN is the tiny seam on the edge where the halves are joined and its specific gravity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
