I know the 3 pence is just melt, but is there any numismatic value to the half crown -- even with the many rim hits and gouges on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 1:00 pm This NGC link will give you more info. on value as well as the 'melt' value of the 1/2 crown. At a 1/3rd of the catalogue value you made a good purchase. Well done! https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...-duid-315025 Report this Post to the Staff

If you want to split the purchase as $7.50 for the 1/2 crown and $.50 for the 3 pence, I'm not sure I see what you mean as 1/3 of the catalogue value. Is this coin VF? The catalogue value is $100 in VF. $7.50 is not 1/3 of $100. Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 10:09 pm The catalogue value is rarely what you would be able to sell the coin for. If you were able to sell for a third of the catalogue value and you purchased the 1/2 crown for only $7.50 you have done well.That was my point! Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 07:41 am That makes sense. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
peter1234 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1351 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 02:06 am No way is the 2/6 VF money...probably less than 50% of F as it has been cleaned.$15 for both is realistic. Report this Post to the Staff
