Question
I have three half dollars and an Indian head penny and would like to know the value of these coins. Two of the half dollars are 1892 Columbian halves. and the other is an 1877 seated half dollar all are in excellent shape. The penny is a 1907 also in great condition.
I would appreciate your expertise concerning these coins. Thank you in advance for your help.
sincerely Deb Savin

Answer
Hi Deb,
The 1892 Columbian Expo halves trade for about $10 each in ExtraFine condition.  In Mint condition, the value rises to $25-30.  The 1877 half in the same ExtraFine condition should bring between $40 and $60 if you put it on eBay.
The 1907 cent is a common date and even in excellent condition is only worth $1-2

Good Luck
