<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 58698, member: 1756&quot;]Be VERY careful.&nbsp; Truth be told, PR62 coins usually suck.&nbsp; Technically speaking, anything under 65 means it has problems.&nbsp; Although, I have plenty of PR64 coins and even a PCI PR63.&nbsp; Unless PCI was ultra-conservative on the coin and the coin has really nice eye appeal, which I&#039;m not sure how it could for a 62, I&#039;d pass even for only $200; especially if it lacks any real proof qualities such as at least medium mirrors.&nbsp; I agree that an 1873 Proof Half Dime is cool to have; I have one in PR64 and it&#039;s toned a complete even cobalt/gun-metal blue on both sides (unattractive to some, dynamite to others).&nbsp; That said, $200 is quite cheap for a coin with only 600 minted and probably less than 400 survive (conservatively, but it might even be less than 300).&nbsp; It&#039;s up to you, if you like it and nothing seriously detracts the eye, then maybe it&#039;s good to get.&nbsp; Any chance the dealer can do a couple of close-up digital photos for you so you can post &#039;em?&nbsp; Maybe you can bargain her down a bit.&nbsp; But, I would almost count on a 100% chance in the future when you&#039;re in a better financial position you&#039;ll be looking to upgrade the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
