Checking completed eBay sales, I could only find 1 mint 2 cent that sold for $15 plus $27 shipping from Australia while the 50 Cents went for $22-$30 with similar shipping. The complete mint sets valued in the 2009 Krause catalog for $45 and in the 2013 catalog for $215!!!, sold for $30-$40. I paid $10.42 for my set. While I wish I could sell all of my collections at Krause retail, I still think I got a bargain. It appears that the 2009 edition is a lot closer to actual values than the more current 2013 copy.
