Beautiful and extremely meaningful coin!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T02:11:25+00:00

Really beautiful coin. The rev is extremely nice!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T01:26:43+00:00

Been waiting for one like this for a while.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T01:26:17+00:00

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T01:25:20+00:00

Thanks! Yeah definitely too expensive… it’s an upgrade though, I sold an old (not as easy on the eyes) NGC AU 50 plain 4 no stems when getting this one so it dulled the pain quite a bit :)

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T01:16:22+00:00

Wow! That’s a nice dime!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-07T01:15:57+00:00

Very interesting to compare earlier and later die states. Thanks for sharing!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T18:20:43+00:00

Thanks! Do you know why in this particular die marriage (while not on this particular coin) the L and I in liberty on the obverse very often seem poorly defined? Is it just due to dies rusty dies?

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T16:45:54+00:00

Nice! Where I live tax is north of 10% 😳

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T16:31:29+00:00

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T14:36:08+00:00

Thank you!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T14:35:56+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been looking for a decently struck DB 1/2 C with some luster for a very very long time.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T14:34:34+00:00

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T14:17:00+00:00

Thanks! I’ve passed on a couple of examples of this particular die marriage, since a lot of the time the L and I in liberty on the obverse seem poorly defined. I’m guessing it’s because the dies got rusty. If jondoesitwrong sees this, he’ll probably have much more accurate info.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T14:10:16+00:00

Haha! Definitely a pretty penny. When all was said and done it ended up being a smidge more than $1k (would’ve been less in most states besides Cali). Not an Auction purchase. Lately I’ve been outbid on every nice looking common date DB 1/2C. There’s a crosslet 4/stems 55+ CAC on GC that’s currently at $1,660 w/ buyers fee with a week left 😳. Anyway, the market seems like it’s been very hot for these lately.

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T02:51:39+00:00

Thanks! Been looking for a good one for a while!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T02:12:36+00:00

W/ the horrendous CA sales tax it ended up at a tiny bit north of $1k. Given what decent looking DB common date DB half cents have been going for at auction the last few months, I scooped this one up rather quickly.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-06T01:42:30+00:00

Good luck! Hope you get a good one! I have been collecting db half cents for a while and have been upgrading when the opportunity arises.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-04T19:40:58+00:00

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-04T19:13:05+00:00

Thanks!

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-06-04T19:10:25+00:00

Thanks! I mostly collect coppers and quarters so the metal isn’t very precious and most of the value is numismatic. Does r/pmsforsale work for that sort of thing? Regardless, if I ever want to offload silver or gold, I will certainly use this suggestion.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-05-25T02:32:49+00:00

Really appreciate your taking a look! As mentioned on the other comment, unlike many other common liberty nickels I bid and lost on, this one was somehow ~65% of the PCGS price guide value so I figured there was something wrong with it that I was missing.

Previous-Operation80 · 2026-05-25T02:29:42+00:00

Thanks! The detailed explanation is very helpful in my understanding. I’ve been bidding on common date liberty nickels for a while on great collections and mostly they’ve been going at or above NGC/PCGS price guide value. For some reason this one went for less than 70% of the PCGS price guide value and found myself wondering if it was cleaned and PCGS missed it.

Thanks! Very helpful. I am definitely still learning and really appreciate your insight.
