This would have to be from the 1870s or 1880s. The price ranges for each year are telling.
The 1836 piece has the 2nd highest price range but today is valued lower than all the 1790's dates.

The prices quoted in this book are the prices we pay for coins. If only C.F. Clark & Co. can jump ahead to 2008, then go back to the 1870's!  swcoin.ecrater.com

I think this is from around 1910. The latest date is 1907 in the booklet.
I will post more of it later. There is a section of 'selling' also.

Just for perspective, in 1915 a new Model T cost $450...
And by 1916 a basic Model T touring car could be had for only $360...

I like those old things. A conductor on a commuter train found and gave me a price list of train fares from 1953. Most of the stations didn't exist and the fares were all less than a dollar.

I would just love to go back in time and hoard up some BU 1793 Half Cents. I'd take a couple of rolls. Now how much is lost in inflation over the 200+ years? |
