<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8305709, member: 101855&quot;]I would save my money and buy something better. The hole in the half dollar has been very crudely fixed, and it&#039;s in the date area. That is a problem, or at least it was when I was a young collector and considered buying coins like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>The half dime price seems high. The coin is damaged and the wear is very uneven on the reverse. The Grey Sheet numbers, which are dealer wholesale, start at $1,150 in Good and go up to $1,750 in Fine. You can expect to pay more than those numbers for certified pieces, but given the fact that you willing to pay $1,000 for one coin, you are getting into the price range where you might buy something better. These coins are scarce, but the 1795 is the most date among the early half dimes. Without the damage, the coin you are considering grades VG to Fine on the obverse and Good on the reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not to show you up, but it always helps to look at high grade examples to get to know how the design looked when these coins were made. </p><p><br /></p><p>This 1795 half dime is PCGS graded AU-58. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1469916[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This 1795 half dollar is PCGS graded EF-45.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1469917[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
