mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2989 Posts	Posted 03/13/2022 8:36 pm July 1972 here, and how times have changed! This is my earliest COINage magazine, and I found out that the first print was in late 1964! I just love this Morgan dollar page if only I could travel back in time... PS, my favorite item from the Morgan page is the complete set of them for less than 1500.00 . Edited by mrwhatisit 03/13/2022 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54287 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 11:27 am As of today, 3/14, $100 in 1972 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $678.75 today. Take any price in the advertisement and multiply it by 6.79 and get the price increase caused just by inflation. I like that postage and insurance was 50¢ Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here) See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) Report this Post to the Staff
hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3740 Posts	Posted 03/14/2022 5:14 pm Nice, thanks. Mom got me my first subscription to COINage in 1968, but I don't think I have any of those early issues, unfortunately... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/29/2022 6:20 pm I'd pass on the 1903-O... I love snagging old price guides when I can. Especially ones from pre 1933. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3702 Posts	Posted 03/29/2022 7:53 pm I remember Donald Benge. He had an endless supply of really nice Morgans. I bought a few from him back in the day, and every one was spot on graded (Brown & Dunn standards back then). Report this Post to the Staff
