MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 11:20 pm I cut bid before the final winning bid. I could tell the bidder was considering throwing in the towel. If I would have won this I had a chance at completing a 1795 set faster than I thought. Oh well. https://coins.ha.com/itm/early-half.../1251-9563.s Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 11:40 pm I agree. I just wasn't going to pay over $1800 for it. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 1:20 pm Eye appeal wise that is a lovely example. I myself am a sucker for circulation cameo like this one. For me, and a lot of bidders, I'd rather pay $200 more and get a coin I couldn't live without. But I can see why this coin achieved this price. Most folks are only ever going to own one and finding a "pretty" one for under $2000 is often difficult. Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 01/10/2017 3:29 pm There is nothing rare about the 1795 half dollar unless it is in high grade (EF-45 or better). Another one will crop up before long. Just keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
