[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24634974, member: 101855"]Heritage does get strong bids. I tell you that from many personal experiences. There are not many "bargains" that are going to sell for less than wholesale, which is what the Grey Sheet is supposed to be, in a Heritage auction. Let's go through your questions. Actually the obverse of that coin really grades Good-4. That's the side that counts more, and a G-4 is on the Grey Sheet at $1,140. The reverse has uneven wear at 10 k. It grades something like AG-3.5. "Low R-4" means that the rarity is very close to R-3. That translates to about 200 pieces known. The most common Flowing Hair half dollar varieties rate an R-4, so this piece, among Flowing Hair Half Dollars, is "common." This coin is really pretty nice for a low grade Flowing Hair Half Dollar. I'd say it will sell for at least $1,100 to $1,200.[/QUOTE]
