Question
I have a seated liberty half dollar in good condition, year 1858.
I was offered fifty dollars for it, is that fair?
Thanks in advance

Answer
Hi Christine,

I would be a buyer of that coin for at least $100, possibly up to $500

Why don't you send it to me via insured mail and I will make you an offer.
