Coin Catalog From 1925

biokemist6-Really? cool! Thanks for the info! Honestly I found this for $1 at a garage sale (so I got it for the cover price!). Anyone else have any comments or other info to add?

Yeah, there are tons of interesting listings (values are given as a spectrum, presumably based on bad condition to nice):
- Proof Trade dollars from 1873 to 1883 are listed as being worth 75 cents each.
- All 1804 dollars are listed as being worth $500- $1,250.
-1652 pine tree 3 pence are worth $1.50-$4, 6 pence are worth $2-5, and shillings are $3-10.
- All colonial Spanish 8 Reals are worth 35 cents
-1856 Flying Eagle cents are worth $3-5.
- British 1791 Lion dollars are worth 75 cents
- Most California gold coins are listed at twice face value.
-1794 flowing hair silver dollars are $25-$50 dollars.
-1836-39 Gobrecht dollars are $15-25
-All liberty Seated dollars are $1.10 (if mint)
- (There are no listings for Morgans or Peace dollars. I guess this means that they were worth face.)
- All Indian Head cents are worth 2 cents (if mint).
- 1794 flowing hair half is $2-4
-All German Thalers are 68 cents.
-And the 1913 V nickel is $50

jbuck- yeah it is just wild to see how rare coins were valued then.

KurtS- haha yeah. I know what you mean, but you'd probably end up messing with the space-time continuum or something of the sort.

jbuck- well, sort of. But I think that you need one of those every so often.

So is the general consensus that the book does not really have monetary value despite being fascinating to numismatists?

Agreed--it's fascinating because it helps collectors like me dream about deals like that! It's already a time machine.
It's also an attractive catalogue from that period, which has its own buyer's market.
And since it's published in Texas, I would guess the best market would be a Texan collector of coins and period exonumia.
Does that sound like Antiques Roadshow?

Here are adjustments for inflation on the prices. Still are some pretty good investments in there. Just wonder how many of us would have had the equivalent of $14K to buy a coin if we lived back then Looks like peace and Morgans except for the keys wouldn't have been a great investment to hold 80 some years.
