1842 Half Dime

[Ace 350]

I’ve been thinking about giving this half dime to the property owner that I found this half dime on. They’ve allowed me to detect there property for years and I’ve found many items relating to The Civil War. I’ve made them a display with a few finds that I’ve found over the years but I recently found this and I’m wondering what’s the value of it to decide I guess. I’d like to keep it but I also know they’d enjoy having it in the display that I gave them. Also I’m just wondering how much it’s possibly worth.

I’m not a coin grader, but she’s in pretty nice shape to be 180 yrs old.

I'd say around $35.

I'd say at least $50 to $60 all day long.

Value can be very subjective, those posted by AU Seeker are full retail, I went by ebay sold listings, you also have to take into account the surfaces on a dug coin. Here's a nicer one that sold for $26. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315466794635?_nkw=1842&itmmeta=01J7AVS98YQGHJPB18DPSGXWSG&hash=item497349468b:g:0mQAAOSwmbBmeCD5&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx+KZ9MfhVJKmuRrFkxDul/CPXdt+iWvuvaBNXarNl9OoqoAg4p6phQqsA0odwgd0RneMzuYBW9Ah2zAFHjaZAjeKPBLR/7AEDxs+YPOK6r0ms5zyx63Ech4Rl7qzJXgfvy3lD6o/ZzWKxjrcNMjQEwXggEUxRuzM9UykyHM4zCqiStogBqsGOb5mGRC07UiheTny8cROpGvYKb7qOvyB2EKx2ByuXUA+1vS2Fd3qXsMJdm995XLit47TVhbyfeYAygkaj/Qkoxo1mgcZ6FytLp+rm+kovBc57|tkp:Bk9SR8aU5du6ZA&edge=0 Another much nicer for $39 https://www.ebay.com/itm/1668103536...SsLNIo8uXDlWGD9BQ==|tkp:Bk9SR8iU5du6ZA&edge=0
