Oddly, I hardly ever find these. Granted, I haven't been through a million cents, yet.  But, I can honestly say I've found more doubled dies than trail dies. I've only found a few trail dies, but at least one of them was a new listing. I would love to find one like the top example - it's really nice. |

Hey Cud Wild- the '94 Trail Die you've got is one of the most dramatic known of these little understood varieties. A simply awesome find. As far as market values, I just purchased a group of them, I'm planning on testing the waters and seeing where demand lies. We've got 2 sons, the youngest just will be 8 months on the 21st of this month. Your die trail will probably be considered a "key" to the variety type and bring a pretty penny when your son's your age. I sock away stuff for both of ours, I too hope they are able to learn to enjoy the hobby as much as we do! |

Hello, John1...I am wondering where you find what trail dies list for - re: your comment: Quote:As for value your coin looks to be 023 on http://www.traildies.com and lists for $10-15.Check out the site it's great,it also lists wavy steps. John1 I searched traildies.com and did not find values - perhaps my search was too haphazard? Thanks for your help. Pete |

This is an old topic,trail dies.com stopped listing values a long time ago.BJ Next told me they would be adding values again but he told me that a long time ago. John  |

Maybe if you went to their web site and contacted them to ask them to start listing values again it would help.If enough people ask they might do it. John1 |

Somebody, somewhere, is arbitrarily deciding what such a coin is worth upon zero evidence. I know a lot about the relative rarity of certain 1921 Morgan VAMs, but in the absence of any sales data I've no right to put a value on them. |

I received an E-mail from B J Neff at traildies.com which said that he will start to price trail dies in August.

Quote:Here one way to estimate value: actual prices of closed ebay sales I think that you are right DrDon - what the market says is the best indicator of value.  Also the direction the market is taking is a far better indicator than opinions of what it is going to do! Pete |
