1802 half dime PCGS VF30 for sale at David Lawrence

Dennis88

Seems like a very nice higher graded circulated example. Any of the bust half dime experts here can tell the provenance of this wonderful piece (although the description says it's new to the census there must be SOME information)? If I had the money I would immediately pull the trigger, although I'm not a bust collector (only the seated baby's for me) I wouldn't mind own this wonderful example of a very rare and recognized coin.....

It looks like a very attractive example to me. Way too pricey, though.

Looks like the ANACS one that JJT had a while back.

I need one. But I also need someone to give me about $150,000 so I can...

Wow, thats a great coin that doesn't come to market very often. It looks strong for the grade if not undergraded by a point or two. Way out of my price range, though.

Laura,
I'll be sure to write you a check at Central States...

It really is a nice coin. It appears a little dark, but it is extremely attractive and has a lot of meat in the details.

We haven't handled one of these in about 5 years or so and it is a super coin, so we're proud to have our hands on it for a little while...

This exact same coin is currently being offered at Harry Laibstain Rare coins for $155,000.00. Not one similar...the exact same coin.

Guess this one is being cross-marketed. Sort of like Heritage's Virtual Bourse, I suppose.

If you buy it via DLRC it's cheaper with their discount. You'll be into it for $147,250.00

NGC AU 50 sold for 64K in 2001, PCGS EF 45 for 299K in 2006......think this might be a hot market?

I think Coin Rarities is offering the same coin too. Not sure who truly "owns" it, but I did see it on HLRC first, so figure that is where the coin belongs. Dick Osburn has an 1802 also...problem coin, but how often are two being marketed simultaneously?

With a cool coin like an 1802 half dime in VF, wouldn't the accurate term be "happy-marketed" rather than "cross-marketed"?

the coin has just met its reserve at DLRC, so it should have a new owner soon

many of us check DLRC daily (or more frequently )!

I would say it's already a pretty steep price. Maybe $90,000 to 100,000 would have been my guess, but what Legend said is true that "these only show up every couple of years.

I wonder what the reserve on that baby is? It's at $117,500 now and reserve not yet met.

ColonialCoinUnion

Reserve has been met.

Compared to what?

wonderful coin on many an advanced collectors list. Alas, few will have the opportunity to own this tiny jewel
