I liked the recent threat by CarrsCoins about guessing the price he paid for a Large Cent. So here is another - an 1800 Sheldon S-205. Please grade and estimate what I paid for this cent 4 years ago (2018).  |

I'll say VF-30 or possibly 35, super lovely. Don't know much about the value of these.

I feel like this should be a contest with prizes!  |

[quote]I feel like this should be a contest with prizes!/quote] I knew somebody would ask this!  Good idea. Since I am Germany this may be a bit difficult...may take a while until I am in the USA in April so that I can mail safely. Let me think of a suitable prize. |

You might be stepping on the toes of Jbucks' Guess The Price Contest . But I'll say VF-35 about $1250 .  |

To be fair with regard to guessing the price, I will add that I got lucky with this one.

XF-40, I like the look of this coin. Quote:

My guess is $775 Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

If it goes to a legit contest maybe the OP will give everyone 2 guesses? Or, 2 prizes - one for closest price and one for closest grade (soonest guessed)....

35 seems right. Nice coin!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very handsome coin! I'd also say VF-35, and I'd guess 4 years ago you paid $375.

That's a stunner of an 1800 S-205. I was thinking choice VF35. Amazing color and surfaces.
Price in 2018 $550. Market was still down back then. Nowadays that coin probably gets $1500+ full retail.
