Won 1 Lost 5...couldn't pass up this 1859 $5 Half Eagle at the sold for price...mintage of just 16K ...with only an estimated 75 survivors...if this coin had a C or a D it would be worth many multiples...but it is just a lowly P...so I'll enjoy it for a while...and then probably sell it years from now for what I paid for it...if I'm lucky...LOL...

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
What do you think you can retail it for? Did you get for around its wholesale of $650 (CDN)?
That number couldn't be farther off from wholesale. You must be using grey sheet.

All of my collection is in a safe deposit box!
But IMHO one can't go too far wrong at $1500...the bidding for the 1838-D lost me way before $28,000...

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Mark --Yes $1500 was the right price...my point about this mint/date being the step sister is that the 1859 is tied in relative rarity in the Half Eagle Series at #34 along with the 1861-D and the 1870-CC...which are listed at $37K and $40K respectively in AU50...both of those coins have good stories...the 1859 does not...
