Saw this half dollar today at a coin shop, but it's priced at €180... Part of me is emotional attached to buying up american coins in Rome...but that price feels stupid high...there is, of course, room for negotiation... * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Roma2021 12/13/2022 11:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 10:23 am @john, I am not a member of that site and do not collect at the level that sold comps are that crucial to me, but I did look at ebay listings and sold comps. It's certainly high retail. I never ask value on these forums (maybe early on, once or twice). I mostly enjoy soliciting conversation and showing people what's made it's way to Rome.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 12:39 pm Nice looking coin. It should have a lettered edge as another indicator of authenticity. Looks to be in G8/VG10 condition. The asking price is way high. Here in the USA I would start at 50% of that price for this coin in that state of wear. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

As nickelsearcher stated, similar coins sell for about half of that asking price here in the US.

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 1:06 pm That's what I thought; I just got excited seeing one in Italy. I'd already decided I was going to pass. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 12/14/2022 03:20 am This is the O-119 common variety. Good pass, this coin looks to be about a $50 USD coin. Check out the filled A in STATES, there was a die chip for that reverse die. Beautiful piece of American history that is almost 200 years old!! Suffering from bust half fever.
