Contemporary Counterfeit Bust Half Dollars
How much do they sell for? Are they more or less valuable than real coins of comparable quality and rarity? What's the logic to the market?
I understand that it's hard to generalize, but please try.

the rarer ones - I imagine - would sell for more, but I'm not sure how much more.
Oh yeah. Sheridan Downey sold Jules Reiver's and someone else's about two years ago. Of course I cannot remember exactly when, but the bust half nuts here can likely help.

If any one has any they want to sell please PM me.
As to what they are worth, depends on a lot of factors just like any other coin. I bought a new one that is unlisted in the book while at the Baltimore ANA for $25, not the norm though, as they are usually a bit more as long as they are not too scraggly looking...

Unfortunately for you it's not for sale.
These are pretty cool coins and would make an interesting side-CBH collection.

There is a new marriage for 1809 that is not in the book, but is known. It was in Sheridan Downey MBS #19 Lot 255.
I would love to see a picture when you get a chance...
