The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Please let me know if you have a 1849 (Large Date) or 1850 Braided Hair Half Cent that you would like to sell. I am looking for examples that are MS63-64RB - the redder the better! Thanks for your consideration.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 To help expedite, I have decided to pay for the coin in real money (that's right... REAL money)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm, you may want to rethink the “red” thing. It invites artificial brightening. I am instantly suspicious of all large cents with red on them. I go for chocolate brown.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) Okay gang... I am resurrecting this one because I only have the 1850 left. I would love it in 64BN, but could go 63. Here is a link to my set, so you can get a feel for what I am going for.

J P M Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I like your set Neo. I can check the dealer near me but I think they are all raw coins in 2x2 no PCGS or NGC holder half's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 A dealer has told me that someone has been buying up and hoarding 1850 half cents in all grades, which is why you may be having trouble finding one in higher grade and why they've become so expensive. Tomorrow's (8/29) Stack's Bowers internet only auction has one graded AU 55 (lot 10149), and the current bid is $600 ($720 with buyer's fee). You may have to wait until the hoarder disperses the hoard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 Thanks Sandon. There are a few available in MS61, but I don't love them. There was one that was in MS64RB that went to auction last week at Heritage, but I was blown out in bidding and lost. It was a beauty, but someone wanted it more than me.... we would have been in a non-stop price war to the moon if I didn't tap out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
