Some of you may be interested to learn that PCGS now offers a price guide for all Overton varieties of Flowing Hair, Draped Bust and Capped Bust half dollars. This price guide is free to everyone and is available on www.pcgs.com. Estimated survival rates of each coin are published as well.
We recently completed the work of building this comprehensive price guide. All the prices were extensively researched. We used all the real world data we could find. This was a very time consuming project - there are a lot of prices! If you notice anything that is askew please let either David Hall or I know.
Meanwhile enjoy and hopefully you will find it useful.
Thanks
