Do you think that half-ducatons are less desirable than ducatons?

No, but I won't claim to know for sure. The half is still a pretty large coin, containing just a hair less than half an oz of silver. Prices are, ballpark, about half of what one might pay for a full sized coin with same grade & similar levels of rarity and eye appeal. I have not done a combined pop for half ducatons, but I would imagine they are rarer. Very similar situation with 18th century gold riders, the 7 Gulden examples are much more scarce than the 14 Gulden coins.

That's interesting. Looking at the market now, one would be better off having bought full-sized Ducatons.

I didn't even see that one. Went for a low price IMHO.

Was that a coin you might have wanted to add to your collection? |

Sure, it's a nice looking coin for the grade. Long term, these prices will look like absolute bargains.

I ran the numbers for Half Silver Riders. Both NGC and PCGS combined, total of 204 graded AU50 or higher. Of those, 133 are MS60 or higher.
Compared to the full size coin, last time I ran the numbers (May 2022), 500 total AU50 and higher. Of those, 228 at MS60 or higher.

If anyone wants the numbers for Half Silver Riders, here is a link to a .csv (comma separated values) file, which can be opened with Excel or probably any spreadsheet software. This is of course NGC and PCGS pops combined. https://wondycoin.com/wondyreport/h...s_031823.csvEdited by beem

From a recent Heritage auction:  So, was the price bid up because of the + on the grade, or because of the "1776" date? I'm thinking the date. |
