Seems Quarters and Halves have been steadily rising the last few years
<< <i>Yeah, prices for nice AU Bust halves continue to ramp up. I actually feel like Bust halves are no longer a good buy. I remember when I started collecting them in 2000, they were so ridiculously undervalued that I bought every nice one I could get my hands on. Now I buy like one bust half per year, and they're just cherrypicks that I got to first. I feel a lot better about the quarters and dimes, though. *wink**wink* >>
Yes, the halves have shot up also, and the quarters even more it seems.
national circuit said in the past year that the real market for bust dollars can be well below Bid.....and he was making $ by
buying them from national dealer X who wanted out, to small time dealer Y who looked at the Greysheet and paid accordingly.
Now, we're not talking primo CAC stickered OGH XF/AU bust dollars, just the generics, FWIW.
Another part time dealer friend who loves quarters told me at Winter FUN that he pays way over Bid for large size draped and capped bust quarters in PC and NGC holders, or raw problem free coins that could get holdered, and that they sell quickly for him.

Thank goodness the US mint has obliged commerce and collectors the past 200 years in providing better made coins in high numbers with relatively low attrition.

I guess I'm a market-mover after all.
