OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 1:54 pm Back when I was a young collector in the late 70s, I used to trade Morgans for large cents. When I told my grandmother about trading dollars for pennies, she called me something in Yiddish that I probably can't post on this forum. Well I just compared entries from my 1976 and 2013 redbooks. A typical Morgan and a typical large cent were both around $7.50 back then. Now, the Morgan is about $35 and the large cent about $25. Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 2:31 pm Silver coins tend to fluctuate more-so with the change in silver prices. Large coppers, I believe, have been more steady. Eb and flow of numismatics I reckon. Edited by oih82w8 07/20/2012 2:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 3:50 pm Large cents are probably much scarcer in general than Morgans and I think they're the better collectible. There are just a lot more Morgan collectors out there! Report this Post to the Staff
HelzelsCoins Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 4:46 pm Large cents are awesome! I want to get one, but haven't got to yet. I missed an opportunity a few months ago, there were some for $3 each in a coin magazine...... Report this Post to the Staff
