You likey? You want buy-ey?

Love to, but at this point, I'd need to work a trade, I have about 1000 widgets that might equal that half dime.

I'd buy it, but the mintage is too high for my tastes.

Actually, I already have one in my set, PCGS MS63. The OP's price is fair or maybe a little generous, in my opinion. I paid $2500 for mine 6 years ago, and I had to work hard to convince the previous owner that I wasn't stealing it.

Man, I've never actually seen one of those. Not even a photo, until now. Cool.

I've heard of 'em, of course. The Red Book calls them "patterns". Do they have Judd numbers as such?

Am I missing something with the price? The PCGS price guide shows like significantly cheaper.

To answer a couple questions (hope that's OK with the mods given I already bumped today):


<< <i>The Red Book calls them "patterns". Do they have Judd numbers as such? >>


Yes, this is Judd 267.


<< <i>Am I missing something with the price? The PCGS price guide shows like significantly cheaper. >>


The PCGS price guide shows the prices for the normal 1860 business strikes. This is technically a pattern, but as it fits so nicely with the Seated Liberty half dime set, is often collected as part of the set. The PCGS guide does not list values for patterns. One needs to research comparables in auction results.

Bump for this cool piece.
