For reference, their sell prices were around 110 per cent higher on average, only fifty per cent higher on common mint sets and so on. Report this Post to the Staff

Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 05/11/2011 1:48 pm I remember the run up in '78-79, could not buy common date material as most of it was going to the smelters. Prices on coins were increasing month by month and not just on silver value alone. Happened a couple more times after that, as the investors came in, and basically ruined the market for collectors of average means. Report this Post to the Staff
