<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gopher29, post: 758188, member: 5379&quot;]Are you telling me that you think that coin would sell for roughly the same price on Ebay if we threw it up there in its raw state as it would in a PCGS holder?&nbsp; I think that is unlikely.&nbsp; Do a search of completed listings sometime and see for yourself the difference between the selling prices for slabbed coins and raw coins (especially PCGS slabbed coins).&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying slabbed is better than raw I&#039;m just saying that the market seems to think so.&nbsp; I do understand the concept of supply and demand.&nbsp; That has not been in question in this thread.&nbsp; Everyone agrees that half cents have a low demand level which causes their market price to be relatively depressed.&nbsp; What has been questioned is whether or not half cents are scarce.&nbsp; I would say they are relatively scarce based on their mintage.&nbsp; Example: If only 100 coins were produced by the US Mint and nobody wanted them for whatever reason they would be readily &quot;available&quot; to collectors but they would still be considered &quot;scarce&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
