Hello everyone!, I recently got this 1/2 cent and was hopeing to hear some thought's on it,I.E.,condition,value as is,etc.I love the coin&that's what matter's most.It's not a type for variation seekers ask there is none...The 33 is one of the lower mintages. ALL input is welcome.Thank you for your time&HAPPY HUNTING!!!
Nice coin. I'm fond of that issue (1809-1836). I've got a complete Red Book business strike set (minus the 1811, Rev of 1802).
You did get a good price on that one . I'll warn you some of the rest won't be as cheap. LoL I try to stay within the vf'-XF range. However it's not easy unless you have unlimited funds. Keep posting your finds.
Great eye appeal. I like collecting coins this old in circulated condition. You have a tangible link to 182 years of history. I always wonder at what point it became a piece in someone's collection.
$52 for that coin is a very good price. A lot of dealers would list it at the VF NGC price of $135 or close to it since it is slabbed. I think this Christmas I will get myself an early copper that isn't worn to nothing like all mine.
You can't go wrong with certified problem free circulated 19th century type coins. They will always be in demand. Your coin has a mintage of 103K. Compare that with 484K for a 1909 SVDB Lincoln, or 264K for a 16D Mercury. Of course there aren't as many people collecting half cents, but that just gives you more coin for the money.
I have looked into some 11's at VF 20= and up,NOT CHEAP!!! But still have to do it!!! I will post any and all find's! Thank's&HAPPY HUNTING!!!
