Owner's Comments

1805 Draped Bust Half PCGS XF CAC - purchased for $2,000 by check to experienced high-end dealer Phil Hinkelman of "Eye Appealing Coins" (dealer at Baltimore coin show 11/14/2019). Bargained down from $2,150 to $2,000, which dealer said was his dealer-to-dealer pice. Paid by check #890 from Key Bank. Dealer pointed out that 1805 is ideal year for type-set collectors, because it is known for good strikes, showing fine detail in the hair, that makes it more attractive than other year dates with weaker strikes. This coin has good eye appeal. Previously sold at Heritage auctions 3/16/2019 (without CAC sticker) for $1,680, so dealer made about 20% profit.
