Today I was attributing several bust halfs, and one of the ones I have it an 0-110 dated 1809. Currently it is my rarest one, and I have no idea how to determine the value of any of these. Normally I would search auction results, but they are not showing anything. Any help from any of the bust guys here? I'm not even sure if an R-4 coin carries a premium within this series. Also, if anyone could recommend any books, I would greatly appreciate it. I currently am using Don Parsleys book.
Hey Big Z, as you know it really depends on how much someone would be willing to pay for it should two or more individuals show interest. The O-110, (R-4+) 1809 is a very nice coin but condition is everything and the key factor which might persuade or dissuade the serious CBH collector to buy. From what I've seen the Rarity Rating really doesn't add value unless it's R-5 (apparently where this variety is headed) or higher. Maybe add $20-$40 bucks to what a regular 1809 in similar condition would go for.
