<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1641772, member: 22271&quot;]Four years ago, I bought a 1797 half cent )1 over 1 variety) NCS VF details (heavy corrosion) for $540 at a local coin show (the dealer knocked off 10% from the $600 asking price). Redbook VF listed at $1750 so I thought it was a good deal—which goes to show that I was a real early copper novice at the time. Didn&#039;t realize that Heritage auctions had similar coins selling for $250 - $300. Unloaded it last year on eBay for $200 (and felt lucky to get that). It taught me to avoid problem coins like the plague.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
