    Do you think the price is to high?

    Well, first of all, 1776 S bi-centennial halves came only in proof (clad & silver). Hence the obvious mechanical error on the PCGS label. I just recently bought a 76 S silver PCGS69DCAM for $23.

    So, to answer your question.............Yup........Rick

    I still do not see the problem. The 76-S MS68 has a value of $315.00 in the PCGS guide.
    Are you saying that the coin in question is a proof?
  • 21Walker21Walker Posts: 1,762 ✭✭✭
    No not thinking it is a proof. Just didn't realize they made the 'S' mintmark in UNC..........Rick

    Even at $195, it is still a good price.
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    A year ago they were bringing $500. But, that was a temporary price spike that settled back down very quickly.

    Well, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for one of these. But that's just me.

    Go buy some that grade MS68 for that, and I'll double your money. No limit.

    I simply don't collect this type of plastic fantastic. For something like this that's readily available in quantity in relatively-high-though-not-"super"-grades, a nice raw coin with good eye appeal will do it for me just fine, thanks.

    But I'll take all the certified 63RB early Lincolns I can get my hands on if you have any to spare. image

    I would have thought this particular coin would have been a little nicer in the fields for a 68 but I am used to looking at proofs.

    No reason to feel sorry.... How else does one recieve knowledge then by asking questionsimage

    Curious. Didn't know they made business strike silver halves.
    It is health that is real wealth, not pieces of gold and silver. Gandhi.

    I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.
