<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mainebill, post: 3332281, member: 44004&quot;]Capped bust halfdimes you should be able to get a nice xf in your range. Seated half dimes even au to lower ms for the motto obverse. And arrows at date. You can get a decent vf 1820s dime for around $200-250 if you look and the small size an xf. A vf no stars dime isn’t&nbsp;&nbsp; A problem either. Or xf and au for all later types of seated dimes. Maybe try to get a couple better dates or branch mints. And&nbsp; 75-s 20 cent&nbsp; as to quarters draped bust is doable in a nice vg if you save and spend a bit more. Same for a nice fine draped bust half. Maybe $400-500 for those. Look for a good original surface with honest wear. The earlier capped quarter will be more a vg-f for your budget. But a nice original has lots of eye appeal too. I like the circam look in them. Later capped quarters are doable in vf for about $250 and all the seated quarters too. Look for better dates too. Civil war dates are good too. 1862 an underrated date. As are most from 1845-50. 57,8,9 are really common. And maybe try for a tougher date. A 1876 or 77 cc is doable too.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bust halves are available in xf in later dates as are reeded edge in vf. The no drapery seated half is tough. But the stars motto arrows and a&amp;r are all doable. New Orleans mints are more common than philly in the 1840s and the 61-o is always popular as several die varieties can be attributed to being struck by the confederate government. As to dollars. A seated can be found for under $500. Usually 1842 47 or 58-9-o. Watch for problem coins there’s a lot. The motto type from 1870-72 is doable for $350-400. A trade dollar in 1877 or 76-8-s. Don’t buy a raw trade dollar unless from a dealer you absolutely trust. And not off sleaze bay. Many are fake. Then there’s the hard stuff. Flowing hair dollars will go over $1k for a real problem coin. Anything decent in vf will cost you $5k plus. Figure something similar for a small eagle. A decent large eagle can be found for under $1k. With problems. Or vg with honest wear.&nbsp;&nbsp; A vf 1799 can be had for $2kat times. A gobrecht dollar is tough. $10k+. Flowing hair halves can be bought for $1k for a vg or a problem coin. A small eagle is brutal. $30-50k.&nbsp; The dealbreaker for many type sets. A small eagle quarter not much better. $10k and up. Flowing hair dimes and half dimes and small eagle and draped bust are all well over $1k. Except a draped bust heraldic eagle. Especially 1806-7. They can be found. For under $1k problem free. Fine or so. Hope this helps. And don’t be afraid to ask for any more info[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
