[QUOTE="DhizKanichioko, post: 828142, member: 23847"]Hold 'yer horses alright? Lets see what the red book says here... Loading, Please Wait... ... ... ... First we will start with the nickels, 'cause I know more about them. Anything from the 30's are the most likely to be found. They are not [I]too[/I] unreasonable, but then again... I don't own any MS buffalos... Expect to spen somwhere between $25-80 (depending on year, mint, vendor, etc...) Okay, for a VF capped bust half, lettered edge, pre 1830... I hope the copyright nazis don't kill me for this, but I'm going to directly quote the redbook here.... [B]G-4 Good[/B]- Date and letters legible. Bust worn smooth and outline distinct. [B]VG-8 Very Good[/B]- LIBERTY faint. Legends distinguishable. Clasp at shoulder visable; curl above it nearly smooth. [B]F-12 Fine[/B]- Clasp and adjacent curl clearly outlined with slight details. [B]Vf- 20 Very Fine[/B]- Clasp at shoulder clear. Wear visible at highest point of curl. Hair over brow distinguisable. [B]EF-40[/B]-Clasp and adjacent curl fairly sharp. Brow and hair above distinct. Curls well defined. Sooo.... Since I personally know nothing on these, go by this discription. For the first year or two (1807-1808), they are valued at $160-750, so expect to pay $250-1000 (vendors like profit, no?). Other than that, expect to pay around $250-300 bucks for just about any other year. the highest non error price for VF20 is $200, but there seem to be many varieties and errors. And finally, don't listen to me too much. As I have said, I'm just a guy with a red book...[/QUOTE]
