<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 385136, member: 3726&quot;]Went to the coins store today and I got to chat with the owner for some time today.&nbsp; When I walked in the first thing he said was - I have just the half you are looking for.&nbsp; I figured it was 1815/2 or maybe the 1820 I keep asking him about.&nbsp; He brings out a box with maybe 10 coins in it.&nbsp; Of course the first had to be a 1856 Flying Eagle Cent - it was a nice coin, but not choice(only 10k).&nbsp; Then second coin was 1800 1/2 dime - average G coin.&nbsp; The third coin was a 1795 XF40 to AU50 half dollar.&nbsp; The darned thing was so nice I couldn&#039;t believe it and it was only 19.5K.&nbsp; Dam I wish I was rich.&nbsp; Anyway we were chatting about the 10 or so coins in the box - he told me these coins are the ones he does not get very often. </p><p><br /></p><p>After a few more minutes of talking about pricing - I asked how come he sold me that 1830 capped bust half so cheap.&nbsp; He smiled and I said is there something wrong with the coin that NGC and I missed.&nbsp; He laughed and so no it was a very nice coin.&nbsp; He said I just flat out screwed up when I priced it. He said he did not find out about his mistake until he was talking to another dealer about it.&nbsp; He said I found out that in that grade they go for another 50% of what I sold it to you for. His son waited on me that day and he quoted me the coin and grade (back on 5/17).&nbsp; I was actually surprised he remembered me buying it since his son waited on me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say I am grateful to have such a good dealer near me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
