What is the value of a 1871 S Half Dime?

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1871-S Half Dime is a better date coin. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins are $15.00-$40.00, better grade are $45.00-$90.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $145.00-$230.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
