I don't think this variety carries much of a premium. I wouldn't pay much more than whatever the grade of the coin goes for.

The first coin, which appears to be an original-looking ~VF30, is more than reasonable for $14, considering the variety.

I had the one that sold for $14 one on my watch list and would have gone up to $16 but I forgot to bid.

This one looks promising, but the reverse looks pretty weak/damaged.

 Another S-4, just a bit more banged up. |

This is a common variety and should not warrant much of an additional premium. In high Mint State condition, there might be a small premium, but not much. Here is mine, S-4b. Paid $250 for this one in MS65BN. I bought the coin for the beautiful colors, not the variety. The variety was a bonus.   |

Thanks for the info. Will check out the link. I have volume 1 of Snow's attribution guide that covers FEC & will check into other volumes.
Nice looking coin RedRaider.

Buy his electronic guides. Those are up to date and will pay for themselves over time with varieties you are able to pick.

Wow--nother great coin, RedRaider!  $65 is a good price for all the 1856-1909 guides, I'll do that. Edited by DVCollector

I like physical books. I also like relatively current information. Does anyone know how far out of date the books are?

I have the online edition. When I look up a particular variety I will print out that page. So, in about 20-30 yrs. I will have printed out the whole guide.  If you call or email Snow, he would answer all your questions about the guide. |

I like physical books. Yeah--I understand that. But it looks like Mr. Snow isn't publishing those in print anymore. I have 3 Snow attribution guides: 1859-69, 1870-89, and 1900-09. They're a couple years old, so they miss some of the recent varieties (but they have all the major ones). They're in good shape--I'll give you a deal if you want'em. PM me. |
