Cool Beans!!!

While rolling up a shitload of coins today...I found an 1808 1/2 cent draped bust coin. Looks to be in VERY good condition.


Hmmmm.....I need to take a further look at the other coins!



VERY VERY nice indeed!

Very cool. Might be worth a bit of money.

I have a coin, from somewhere in Africa I think. It's so small I can't read the printing even under a magnifying glass. I have no idea where it came from.

A quick google:

DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.

Here are some typical catalog values for US draped bust half cents from The Grey Sheet, a conservative US price guide.

worn (VG): $65 US dollars approximate catalog value
average circulated (VF): $125
well preserved (XF): $260
full uncirculated (MS60): $875

A good find indeed!

Congrats Misty...that's quite a find.

Where you been lately?

I have some bills and coins my uncle gave me that were minted in post-WWII Japan during the occupation by 'Dugout Doug' and the US Army (including my uncle). I don't know if they're worth anything but they remind me of him, so they're priceless.

Now is not a good time to sell coins cuz of the precious metals bubble. Coin dealers are taking it up the ass with bullion value being grossly inflated. So they dont wanna buy old coins graded less than MS65 or so.
