kolhoznik New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 12:04 am I ran across the ad from a 1910 issue of The Numismatist. Oh for these prices...especially at the bottom of the 2nd column. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/17/2015 08:50 am You know what's worse? Those prices are basically an hour's pay at a middle-class wage for that day. Labor was a Quarter an hour. Can you buy a nice Thaler for an hour, or even a day, worth of pay today? Report this Post to the Staff
