Norman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 7:36 pm I have a question for anyone that can help: I have the opportunity to purchase an 1871 Seated Liberty half dime, VF condition. However, I do not at present have a price guide, and would like to know if anyone can provide me with some useful information on this coin, as I hadd not heard of it until just recently. Thank you.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 7:55 pm IF it is a VF-20 or approximately that, it should be selling for about $30. However, as usual, this is really pending on what grade it really is. Way to many people say VF or EF and really mean they don't know. One of the higher minted ones at 1,873,000. Make sure it is not an S mint. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 8:39 pm My guess is about $15 on a VF-20 1871 Half Dime. Check out this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1871-LIBERT...ht_500wt_969 Let's see how close or off-base this oldtimer is ... By The Way ........ Report this Post to the Staff
Norman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 9:23 pm Thank you folks, for the input, and the welcomes! I'm new here (of course), so bear with me on things. I'm a-tryin! And, it is VF, had it graded, but also wanted all the opinions/options possible! Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 02/04/2012 11:44 pm Looks like I came pretty close in guesstimating the price realized on that 1871 Half Dime; this, if one considered the total price which included shipping. The total was $14.50. So, Norman, compare the coin you saw to this one on ebay and you may then better gauge its market value. Report this Post to the Staff

Norman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/05/2012 08:40 am @ExoGuy: Got it for $9.50, no shipping as it was local. Compared it to your post, and I would say VF on mine is an acceptable grade, possibly better. Seems like I did okay. @biggffred: Thank you for the information on the price god; I am sure that wil be helpful. And to ALL: I am so very happy I found this site. Everybody has been very ready to help, and the staff has even jumped right in and helped when asked. Tyou, Tyou, Tyou!javascript:insertsmilie('') Report this Post to the Staff
