It took at least TWO people with more money than brains to get to that level. The coin is on the Gray Sheet for $150. Using Gray Sheet numbers, you have to get up MS-65, Brown have one that&#039;s worth $900.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one from the coin counter at the Gimbels Department Store in Philadelphia in the mid 1960s. They graded it VF. It&#039;s now in an NGC MS-62 holder. It runs circles around that 1851, and it&#039;s a slightly better date than the 1851. When I was collecting half cents, my conclusion was that the 1851 was the most common date for the decade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1092452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1092453[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
