[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 25333248, member: 105571"]I will take the plunge: Purchased this 1811 half eagle from a dealer at Summer FUN 2021. This coin was not on my want list and I'd never intended to buy early gold - ever. But in a casual conversation, the dealer mentioned he had a line on this and I should take a look. After some negotiation, I bought it even though I knew I was well underwater. The heart wants what it wants! On the plus side, it's in an old PCGS holder and I thought it might grade one point higher today or maybe get a CAC sticker. I've not pursued those possibilities. Purchased in 2021 for $7300. At the time, Greysheet was $5350. NGC Price Guide was $7000. It's recovered a bit since then. Current Greysheet is $6800. Current CDN CPG is $7750. [ATTACH=full]1619818[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
