PCGS survival estimates suggest that 50000 exist in all grades from a relatively high original mintage of 484000, which is low only by LC standards. Despite this, they sell for prices that suggest only a few thousand exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think every half dime out there is vastly underrated. Take the 1852-O half dime. 260000 minted, which is lower than the 1916-D mercury dime, about 200 survivors in all grades today, and RB has $30 in Good-4 and $75 in Fine-12.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the 1838-O half dime that also has ~200 survivors today. The original mintage was 70000. There&#039;s one on the bay right now for $74.49 plus shipping. Pretty beat up and worn down, but still a &#039;38-O! <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-O-Seated-Liberty-Half-Dime-Rare-Key-Date-/351545990514?hash=item51d9c61d72:g:hicAAOSwo0JWJwCs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-O-Seated-Liberty-Half-Dime-Rare-Key-Date-/351545990514?hash=item51d9c61d72:g:hicAAOSwo0JWJwCs" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1838-O-Seated-Liberty-Half-Dime-Rare-Key-Date-/351545990514?hash=item51d9c61d72:g:hicAAOSwo0JWJwCs</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If the series was more popular these coins would go for hundreds of dollars but they don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
