Nice coin indeed. But also be aware that the pops of the non-cams most definitely influence what a CAMEO is worth. 1882 and most of the 1879-1891 dates are fairly available in cameo.

Also remember that CAMS did not make the pop reports until the last few years. Hence the "rarity" of cams is somewhat overstated.

The biggest thing that drives the price of a common date proof seated half is how clean and eye-appealing it is for the grade.

I am aware that the number of CAMs are increasing. When I bought this coin there were only 5 in the same grade. Still think PCGS makes it tough to get the CAM designation.

PCGS crossed an NGC PF68 seated half I once owned to 68 CAM status - I was very surprised...especially considering there was a major reverse wipe in the lower rev fields. In the NGC photo you can see the overly white area under the eagle (even more noticeable if you click on the photo to enlarge it). Never considered it cameo either due to the heavier toning in many areas.

From $15-20K to $35K. Note the coin did not change, only the case.

I guess that is why we do what we do. I sent in 12 top grade NGC coins. Various dates and denominations. Crossed only 1 Liberty Half.

You should be VERY careful when inferring that you are offering coins as an investment. That triggers the imposition of numerous regulatory mandates that I'm sure you are not set up for (nor for the consequences of NOT following them).

Please elaborate on your statement that I am selling an investment rather than a coin. Thank you in advance.
