Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I have a 1986 Liberty Half Dollar proof, the one minted to commemorate the Statue of Liberty centennial. Still in the Mint packaging. Anyone have an idea of what it's worth? P.S. I do not have a guide to look in and the local newsstand doesn't have one and there's no coin store nearby.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 According to http://en.allexperts.com/q/Coin-Collecting-2297/2009/1/1986-Walking-Liberty-Half.htm 5 to 7 bucks. They were over produced and are made of copper and nickel not silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I have a 1986 Liberty Half Dollar proof, the one minted to commemorate the Statue of Liberty centennial. Still in the Mint packaging. Anyone have an idea of what it's worth? P.S. I do not have a guide to look in and the local newsstand doesn't have one and there's no coin store nearby. I figur it is maybe worth a half dollar . . . possibly less, . . but I'll give ya 49 cents for it,.... that is only if you pay the postage to send it to me.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I knew it wasn't silver because it gives the specs on the information card in the box.: .33 troy oz copper .03 oz nickel I prefer older coins. I was just curious. It came with some of my grandfather's stuff after he passed. He used to collect gold coins but they mysteriously disappeared after his death. WE know who took em though.

Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I apologize for gettin yer hopes up, I waz lookin in the wrong book last nite. Mo Hares quote to ya is pretty much on the money..(no pun intended.) it is unfortunate, but the modern comems are just not worth much. I bought a couple like the Civil War one just to have it...not curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 I don't really care what it's worth. It's shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I don't really care what it's worth. It's shiny! You could put a hook on and use it for fishing. Bluefish love shiny lures. (Not that there are many "Blues" on Colorado) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
