If I may, what did you pay? I purchased a 1877-S half in MS-64 3 years ago myself for $1100. I'm curious to see what they're actually selling for today

The 1877-S lists on the Numismedia FMV site for $1,440 in MS-64. I paid $1,500 for this coin. It was a bit more than current list value but I have been looking for a nice example for quite some time and this is the best one I have come across.
I stood and thought about it for several minutes. I actually walked away from the dealer's table, then said to myself, "Go for it" and went back.
It was quite an experience for me to count out fifteen one hundred dollars bills and lay them on the dealer's table. I have never done anything like that before.

Sorry for the late reply! $1500 sounds pretty fair all considered. The seated half in my type set was the first coin I ever spent 4 figures on. Sadly, I'll be shelling out 2k to send off a few hundred coins to ANACS today. Part of business though.

That's a beauty Paul, very nice indeed. I just purchased the Tyrant US Type Coin Collection book, it's got all 420+ coins in it, though it's a bit small, the quality is excellent printing and Lyle's photography is top notch. You can order it from the Tyrant collection website I believe it's volume 7 so far in his sets. Only $10 shipped worth it and a great deal. https://thetyrantcollection.com/shop/"Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
