To each his own...
There were a great many 0-frame sixteens and possibly even more 1-frame twelves but there were a scant few, by comparison, 1/2-frame twelves ever made. Most of them were as much as 1/2 lb. lighter than the equivalent gun on a 1 1/2-frame and very few were heavier, from what I've read.

Me? - I would place a premium on a 1/2-frame twelve over a 1 1/2-frame twelve, all other things being equal of course.

I know of a GHE 26" 1/2 frame gun that was redone by Del Grego. A very nice gun but redone non-the-less. The seller want's $10,000 for it. I think he will have it for a looong time. I would think the same gun in the same condition on a 1 1/2 frame would be worth about $4,000-$4,500?

Dean,
I think that the half frames rarity may result in some increased value on a high condition or perhaps high grade gun. Bill's example was a field used VHE or GHE for which the only extra value might be in weight reduction from zero to maybe a few ounces which to me dose not translate to many, if any $$$.
