I have a small coin collection that I inherited from my aunt. Based on my internet research, only one coin has any real value. An 1832 capped bust liberty half dollar.

I took it to a coin shop and I heard the guy tell his employee that it was "a fine example."

He then came back to me and offered me $200. Sounded really low so I declined.

I'm wondering if his offer is fair?

Thanks for any help because I am so lost with this.

May just be the glare, but looks like it may have been cleaned.

It does have nice details. XF, maybe AU in condition.

$200 is fair if not a little generous in XF.

Should be closer to $300 if AU.

There's a big jump. wait and see what others say, but I don't think $200 was super lowball of anything.

I'm going to lock this one because I moved the original thread over here.
