Does The Community Think This Is A Fair Trade?

The dealer wants 5500 for the Charlotte half eagle. Just curious what others opinions are of this trade.

No brainer.hard pass .
Be patient a better deal will be out there !

You're better off treating it as two separate transactions. Sell the 20 cent, then buy the half eagle. $5500 seems like a high price in this market. IMO that reflects the dealer's reality. There are a lot of expensive coins in inventories right now. Selling a high end 20 cent will be a challenge for any dealer that gets it in trade. What is his cash offer for it?

I sold a bullion grade Eagle a week ago, then purchased a DMPL CC Morgan with part of the proceeds. The Eagle transacted at spot as expected. I had my choice from literally dozens of DMPL's, and could pick and choose the one I liked. Like buying candy bars at Halloween. Far more supply than demand on display, and stacks of unopened GSA boxes behind the display. I asked the dealer if they were buying modern proof sets (my sister has a bunch) and got a chuckle. Yes, for half of greysheet.

Southern Gold especially half eagles ...the market is hot right now and unfortunately I try not to time the market in anything because that's an investors mentality and I'm a collector who also doesn't want to loose his ass. With that said the dealer is open and I said 2k on top of this trade I made a mistake and took back the offer and he said shoot him a number and I'm trying to figure out that number. A straight across trade I would be getting the upper hand. I looked into selling it whole sale and 2 bigger coin dealers a few months ago offered me 2700 (they both offered the same) for my 20 cent cc and would be interesting to see how much they would offer me if I had this Charlotte half eagle. I love the surfaces and the eye appeal which is becoming more difficult to find, is half eagles from the southern mints with what I would call a gold Liberty Half Eagle with original skin. The 1855 c that sold for $3840 in 2023 wasn't in a ogh holder and didn't have the eye appeal like the one I want to purchase. Although the one that sold for $3840 in 2022 did have a cac and is more comparible but these coins have gone up significantly since then.
I know my 1875 cc 20 cent piece will be easy for any dealer to sell especially in a pcgs ms63 holder and in hand looks way better than the grainy picture I uploaded so maybe I should upload some better pictures of both the obverse and the reverse of both my 20 cc and his 1855 c half eagle. Does anyone think this should be a straight across trade? Does anyone think there needs to be cash included my 20 cent cc because I definitely think I would want cash included if the tables were turned and I was this dealer with the 1855 c half eagle in an older holder with original skin. But how much is the question. He's open to less but I just don't want to screw myself. Thanks for all your guys help thus far!

wow, this topic is way above my head - I'll sit and watch

Charlotte and Dahlonega gold have really gone up especially Dahlonega gold. If anyone in this community visits doug winter's website on the regular they will understand that a couple years ago one could buy (one of the more common dates) AU Charlotte half eagle for around 3500 and now 2 years later they've gone up to around 5k. Dahlonega have gone up even more to 5500-6000. When I say au let me clarify I'm talking au50 coins that CAC.

I havnt found any 2024 sales data on 1875 carson city ms63 20 cent pieces. If a coin shop is buying these for 2700 they are probably selling for ....?
