Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 2:24 pm I went to a estate seller near my house that specializes in buying jewelry and some classic US coins. I noticed that she had Seated Liberty dimes for like $5 for common date coins in about VG condition and Half Dimes for like $10 more. How good of a price is this? I don't usually collect the series but I need some for my 7070 Dansco album. It seems like a good price looking around but I was wondering how common it is to get them that cheap. Should I worry about counterfeits with common dates in the series? Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 3:10 pm I doubt they are counterfeits, not worthwhile to counterfeit common dates in such a low grade. $5 for VG isn't bad, I can sometimes pick up G-VG Seated dime and Half-Dimes at my dealer for melt, not often though. If you need them for a Dansco I recommend skipping on them as they are easily found in VF or more for not too much more (unless you are on a budget). They still make nice additions to any collection though. Which dates did you see? Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 7:52 pm I too wouldn't worry to much about fakes. Not a particularly popular coin for counterfeiters. Report this Post to the Staff

Seems like a good price as long as they are not damaged or harshly cleaned. Remember that the later years (1880's/1890's) are much more common than the earlier years. I've gotten some AG-3/G-4 Seated quarters for $5 each a couple of years back but they were not much to look at. Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 12:27 am Yeah I have a dealer near me that offers seated liberty problem coins for that price. Mostly ex jewelry with holes etc. That's what initially got me interested at the price. Report this Post to the Staff
