Shouldn't this coin be worth more than this?

Singapore

I want to make it clear that I don't own this coin and I stand to benefit not at all if it is sold.

This is a 279 year old Hibernia Halfpenny in a PCGS 65RB holder currently on the Bowers and Merena website:



While not a rare coin, I would estimate that perhaps 12 to 15 exist in condition approaching this one. And the fact that it has that much original red on it after that length of time is at the very least pretty cool.

Bowers is asking $2400.

Damn! Look at the schnoz on that guy!

Exactly my point Russ. You would think a nose like that ought to be worth at least $2550.

woooooo, she's got some wicked lookin' digits.

That is a nice looking specimen. Especially for a 279yr old copper - think maybe that has something to do with the price????

It might should be worth more, but it all comes down to demand. How many people are interested in collecting those?

Not an AH, AN (accent nose)
