    Only in "problem free" condition, some things never change. And the catch is buyer dealers can be as fussy as they want.

    I can go $6, but I need the wreath cent too....image. And to sweeten the deal, I'll toss in an extra 50 cents for postage.

    I think the "1856 Nickel" in the "US copper cents" is for 1856 FE cents.
    A dollar each!

    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......

    Sadly, there are probably some dealers today who would still pay those same prices for those coins.

    If he gave you eighteen 1893-S Morgans for your 1794 buck, it would have been fair.

    It is interesting that 1795 and 1800-1803 dollars were not included, and the 1796 and 97 dollars were only .50 above face value. The only capped bust half dollar was 1815. It was not until after 1900 that "common" early dates had much of a wholesale numismatic premium.
