Seated Halves
Seated Halves
Seated Halves
I started collecting coins at the age of 4 and have been collecting ever since. I have been selling
and trading coins on a part-time basis since 1985. In January 2006, I retired from my position as
Manager, Financial Planning and Budgeting with a Fortune 500 company, to become a full-time
coin dealer. During my 40+ years in coins, I have bought and sold many coins, including several
rare coins with very few known. My personal collection from half cents through silver dollars
was complete except for approximately ten coins. The vast majority of my collection was
auctioned by Stack's in February 2008. I attend many national and large regional coin shows
and conventions, and maintain relationships with specialized dealers and buyers, as well as
major numismatic auction houses. I do not have a coin shop, so as to eliminate a lot of
overhead expenses (that YOU won't have to pay for).
I deal in rare U.S. coins from 1792 to date, especially silver, nickel and copper coins, as well as
varieties. My areas of focus are Bust and Seated half dimes, Bust and Seated dimes, Bust and
Seated quarters, Seated halves, and Seated dollars. I enthusiastically buy scarce and rare dates
in my areas of focus.

Maybe you've been collecting for 20 to 30 years and you've decided now is a good time to sell.
Or maybe you've just inherited a collection and you don't know what its worth. Or maybe
you've found a bag of old coins and wonder what they are. In any case, you might want to find
a professional who can answer all of these questions and help you get the best price for your
collection.
I always need to buy coins, in order to have coins to sell. I prefer to buy coins of the same types
that I sell, including Bust and Seated half dimes, Bust and Seated dimes, Bust and Seated
quarters, Seated halves, and Seated dollars. I also seek out low grade coins for the rarer dates,
as I do have customers who are interested in those coins. I will be happy to make a fair offer on
your collection, a part of it you wish to sell, or any one or several coins.
Bust Half Dimes
We recently obtained some great early half dimes in PCGS holders incl. 1796, 1797 15 stars and
1803 Large 8. We also have some PCGS MS-62 half dimes (1830 LM-13, 1831 LM-6, and 1836
LM-7), PCGS AU-58 (1829 LM-5 and 1835 LM-2), and PCGS EF-45 (1830 LM-3)! We also have a
rare (R7) 1800 LM-2 half dime! Our Capped Bust Half dimes for sale include some rare cuds
such as the 1830 LM-5, the 1831 LM-3 and the 1835 LM-1. I believe that early and Capped Bust
half dimes are a great value, as you can get a rare coin for much less than a coin of equal rarity
in the Bust Quarters or Bust Halves series. Wanted: 1796/5, 1802, and any R-6 or better
varieties.
