[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1333920, member: 75105"]I've been looking for a nice seated half dollar. The seated half is one of my favorite coins. But it seems like even at redbook price, which is a guide that dealers use to sell at, not much exists. When I look for something in the redbook price I find many coins that are holed, scratched, buffed, cleaned, etc. If I want to buy a problem free coin, they sell for much more than redbook price. I'm not wanting a carson city, I'm not wanting an error, I'm not wanting a key date, I want a simple, problem free, seated half. Take for example this 1858 Seated Half. It has been slabbed at VF-30, which in my book is $65. However, which shipping, I'm paying $20 over redbook price. Now you might think I'm a little short-sighted. But trust me, I have looked on most auction sites on the internet. It seems like it's next to impossible to find a nice (vf-20+) seated half, without paying more than redbook for it.[/QUOTE]
