I always thought the half cent was used to make change. When the Spanish real
was legal tender, one real was worth 12 1/2 cents.
Of course items could have been priced down to the half cent.
Example - five pounds of flour at five and one half cents. |

GR58, it is good to hear from you!
thanks Jbuck ... I see your post count is way up
I am not on here as much as I use to .. since my father
passed away .. not as much into coins.
But with the price of gold and silver up .. I just had to
sort thru my collection. I had no idea my collection was/is
worth as much as it is. Just sorting thru the coins I am not
in love with, and selling them, has netted me about 25k.
Really had no idea.
Of course, now I am thinking of putting some of that into
my Type set .. and my Morgan collection. But I will sort thru
more if these prices hold, or go up more .. and will sell more.
I have sold some coins, in pretty much all the big spikes since 1980.
Just start buying back when prices go back down. |

Congrats on the retirement fistfulladirt
Sorry to hear about the health insurance ... I guess it happens to us that
retire early. Or what some consider early.
—————————————————-
I have been enjoying the rise in gold and silver prices. Selling a good amount
and moving the money to more stable investments.
BTW ... I did smile when selling stacks of gold coins that I had bought.
Coins that a few people on this site said I was wrong for buying non slabbed
gold coins. Sold around 50 gold coins with no problem, and very good profit.

Nickels rule
Good to hear your still working on your quarters
It was interesting to read this old post.
For my progress, I see I was at 8500 quarters then,
now I have over 13,000 quarters. |

Most of your gold coins are going to be worth
near the bullion value.
Not exact numbers .. but close.
$5.00 gold 1/4 ounce
$10.00 gold 1/2 ounce
$20.00 gold 1 ounce
A dealer might pay a percentage back
of the gold value.
