Eastwood501 New Member Australia 12 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 6:35 pm Yes, however as a newbie I was coerced to buy it, I thought it would be a good deal because it was slabbed. But I'm only new to coin collecting so am only learning, lol. I suppose $500 was way too much, leason learnt The serial says 167.63/60208379 I wonder how I can check this?

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 6:47 pm That's a PCGS cert number and it appears to check out on the PCGS website, as a 1722 Hibernia 1/2P, "harp left". They show it as graded MS63BN with a catalog value of $1750 USD. Previous auction sales for this coin were $1224 and $1495 so maybe that $500 AUS was well-spent after all. Presumably you could make a profit if you consigned it to Heritage for one of their auctions..... Report this Post to the Staff

Eastwood501 New Member Australia 12 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 6:57 pm Hi amida, sorry to be so naive but I have been collecting coins for about 2 months. I didnt even know about slabbed coins a month ago. We all have to start somewhere. ;) Report this Post to the Staff

I've just checked my winning bids on ebay, and it looks very much as though there is a right hand harp halfpenny among a job lot I've just bought." I also said that it looked rough, and I wasn't wrong. It seems to be a contemporary forgery, 26 mm, 5.6 gr., but as I bought it and 10 other pieces for the huge sum of $10, I'm not greatly distraught. Report this Post to the Staff

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 1:40 pm PCGS tends to over-grade Colonials. Just don't put into a C4 Auction <BG>. The FUN Heritage Sale in January 2013 is a good sale to consign that coin if they allow you to consign just (1) coin or if there is a $$$ minimum. Report this Post to the Staff
