Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the Philadelphia issue 1849 Liberty Head Half Eagle is actually seen less often than the branch-mint issues. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded.This issue is very rare in Mint State grades. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $330.00-$425.00, better grade are $475.00-$500.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $650.00-$1,280.00. 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
