I'd say real world value is no more than about 20% of what a G4 coin would be at Greysheet bid.
All the Seller needs is two lowball collectors to get into a bidding war then all bets and estimates are flushed right down the toilet.

Are there grey sheet prices for coins like this?

Only as a type coin, and even then, not below Good.

It should not have straight-graded. It is bent.

I agree it appears bent at 3 o'clock on obverse. I think it got a generous po-1 straight grade, I think the grader graded based on rarity more so than condition, I would look for a better more pleasing low grade example

I agree with this grading PO-1, but this definitely looks like a Details coin, regardless of what the grading company said.

I ended picking it up for low 300s, it's a rare coin that I otherwise can't afford and it is another type coin added

PO-1. At that grade I'm not sure "details" would matter much.

You have to find a buyer who is after low ball grades. The reverse scars will turn away a few potential buyers, but this is the only way to afford this type for many collectors. Similar coins have sold on ebay in the $350-$450 range (without the gouge). $300 is a good price, but I just don't think you would have as much action from type set collectors as you would from low ball collectors. |

Thanks for the opinions! I don't intend on selling this coin. I just wanted a type piece and maybe get rid of it in 20+ years

Unless this is a really rare die variety, this is not a "rare coin.' I have collected the early Half Dimes by Red Book variety for over 40 years. In my experience the 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime is the most common date in the series followed by the 1800. Unless this is a rare die variety, it's not "rare" per say. BTW there are 10, 1795 Half Dime die varieties. We only see two or three of them with any regularity. Overall there are four 1794 varieties for a total of 14 among the Flowing Hair pieces. I don't think that there are very any collectors who are trying to complete that set. I know I would not even contemplate it despite the fact that I love these coins. It's just too hard . |
