Capped Bust Half Dime

If you’re shopping for your collection, you may notice a range of prices for seemingly the same coin. Market estimates never seem to match retail prices. Why is that? Retail pricing considers market rates, historical sales data, inventory levels, competitive analysis, the cost to acquire the coin, expert research by trained numismatists, and much more. The market value in our calculations also accounts for sales in the marketplace from outside APMEX, which can include auction values. With auctions, coins may sell for abnormally low prices or reach record highs, and this can mean coin values fluctuate from month to month as those numbers update. It can also mean that coins for sale on APMEX may be priced a little higher or lower than the coin value shown here.
