<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 400441, member: 12965"]So does anyone want to take a stab at what a AG/FR-2 1804 C-10 Half-Cent is worth? I'd say around $30 to $40 tops, but our latest scam artist got $687 for his. Here's his reply to my message to him:</p><p> </p><p><font face="Arial"><i>I said it in the ad I know nothing about this type coin. The coins reverse is so badly pitted I can not read much of at all. even with 6 x loop. Just a few letters here and there. I thought the pictures alone would answer any questions. I also said in there cheerful refund given if not happy. to one of the first questions. I do think your right about having to relist it as a half cent...........Many thanks George for clearing this up for me. In the Dark Bruce</i></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">I never said anything about relisting it, I said he needed to amend it and clarify that it wasn't a ONE CENT but rather, a HALF-CENT.
