<p>[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 3570775, member: 4373"]I had to let a few 50 cents slide out of my hands - too often they were just way too far out of reach and they have always gone up in one direction. 10 years ago the same coin was sold for less than 100USD in VF condition... It's 10 fold today (!) What would you expect when mintage figure of 1866 and 1867 50 cents is mere 59,000 (if I recall correctly) - and that's assuming if all of them survived. </p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, I think it's a perfect time for me to sell off a couple of half finished sets - that should fix a lot of problems. The dollar coin can be pricey but doable as the mintage figures are much higher. You can see mine is heavily damaged... will let you know if I ever upgrade that coin. So far I have kept it for the last few years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
