JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 9:08 pm My friend inherited some coins including this well worn 1795 half dollar and he wants to know a fair value as he wants to sell it. I know not the best pics but best I have. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/06/2021 10:07 pm I agree with PO-01. Well worn, but more or less problem-free. You can check out sold listings on ebay to get an idea of value: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...ete=1&_pgn=1 Tell your friend to take care of it! I would recommend getting some Mylar flips or 2x2s to avoid damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Risky to try but the reward is there if the coin makes the cut. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 04/07/2021 05:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 04/07/2021 09:19 am $500 retail these days. No serious problems other than wear, and it has a clear date. Some could argue more or less, but it's in the ballpark. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 04/07/2021 09:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3643 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 8:58 pm Interesting coin. It looks like an Overton-128 (or what's left of it). The obverse makes Fair-02. The reverse barely makes Poor-01, but some of that may be due to strike quality, as well as wear. Because of the strong date, I'd net it upward to Fair-02. The deliberate scratches (graffiti?) on the obverse may detail the coin. I don't think it snags the coveted lowball grade. As to price It's heavily circulated, but it's still marketable. IMHO, you would have a better shot on a bourse floor than ebay. I'd be afraid of this one selling way below value on ebay. It will take the right buyer to bring good value here, and it's a lot easier and less costly to say "no" on a bourse floor than on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
