What's a reasonable price for a 1807 half in xf45?

It's an uncleaned original surface in a NGC slab. I don't know the varieties, but the label says O-106.

Thanks!

I assume you are referring to the Draped Bust half as they did make a capped Bust half in 1807 as well. And I don't see o-106 in the Overton book for the Capped Bust half. Having said that the 1807 Draped Bust half 0-106 has a rarity rating of r-3 which they refer to as scarce with 201 to 500 estimated.

To help give an idea on the rating factor it goes from R-1 to R-8. One being the most common. Grey sheet I have the quarterly from May 03 and it has one price and this usually means a bid price.

1807 in xf is is $550.00 and I assume this is for xf40 and not xf45, in AU it has $1850.00. As you know these are only a guide and nice choice problem free original coins are going to be much more sometimes.

Hope this helps.

Yep, for a draped bust version. As best as I can tell from the pic, it's never been cleaned. It is priced around $1350. Decisions, decisions...

I would not call that moon money for a super nice 45 but its close.
If its a dealer make them a offer.

I don't think that's moon money. Many times a choice example of a grade will even go for the next grade up. Like a au58 will go for 60 money or more. Just depends what a person wants I guess.

$1350 seems a little high unless the coin has some traces of luster and/or superior eye appeal.

might want to try offering a cool grand and go from there.

IMO, if it were ebay it might be high, but if it's from a retail reputable dealer and a nice eye-appealing original coin graded correctly, it might be just fine of a price. Man... what am I doing sticking up for dealers?

a original-surface bust half in a slab??? are you SURE???

i ask because most original bust halves are'nt slabed, but if you've found a truly, completely 100% ef+ 1807 d.b., i'd say $2000. no, i am NOT joking. a truly original db in that grade is worth 2 grand easy.

which is why i doubt you found 1 in a slab.

Here is a new offer on EBay for comparison purposes. 1807 BUST HALF, NGC XF-45, ORIGINAL & PQ!

wow, my price lists are out of date. No wonder i don't buy more coins!

These are not the kind of coins that you can expect to find for greysheet. The price lists on early bust coinage are badly in need of a reality check.
