Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 11:17 pm I often wish the same thing. I like to use the older Red books to see the trend of certain coins. If I only had a delorean with a flux compositor :) Report this Post to the Staff

Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 02:38 am I'm more shoked by the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter. Whereas the 16-D and the 09-S.V.D.B have gained several hundred dollars in G-4, the 1916 has gained several thousand dollars in G-4 Report this Post to the Staff

kyotiby New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 10:59 am I have the same backwards-looking thoughts when leafing through the old Yeoman books and the first edition of the Krause catalog, then I remember the wages I was earning back then. Hard to collect the beauties when all I had was pocket change to spend. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 11:16 am I think that the Twenty Cent Pieces went into orbit as well as better grade Liberty and Shield nickels in VF/XF or better grades. Report this Post to the Staff
sfwusc Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 2:39 pm You could get a delorean for around $25K... that flux compositor is going to be a little more expensive :) I am not sure where to get one of those. If you ever get one, then don't waste your time getting coins..... bet on sports. You can double your money every 3-4 hours. Coins don't go up that much! -SFWUSC Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 2:41 pm Just think. At a coin show today a dealer showed me a 1916D Mercury dime, slabbed by PCGS as AU-58 and he only wanted $8,000. HOWEVER, he did mention that price was negotiable. Report this Post to the Staff
sfwusc Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 2:47 pm That isn't a bad price on the 1916d. To bad I don't have $8k to spend on it. -SWUSC Report this Post to the Staff
