1830 silver half dollar

[fernald1]

found this recently under the old shed. anyone know what it might be worth? there is a nick taken out of it. shame

they are going for around $50 on ebay in that condition. would be worth a lot more without the nicks in it.

Worth about $65 in that condition, coming from Red Book.

Ive got one from 1823 but yours is in much better shape than mine. Very nice find indeed!

well from what I have been told,rim gouges usually result in a no grade,so many of mine are ungradeable,if I had to put a grade on it,i would say poor-1 to AG-3

Edit-having a look at the book,it looks like you have the large 0 variety,the book also shows a large letters variety,thats worth big money..

Nice find, I have always dreamed of detecting a piece of U.S. silver from that era.
