1952 US Coins Premium Guide Check List Part 1

[Historyhound]

Found this while on a visit to the City Mission. Paid a whole 10 cents for it. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer any clues as to who produced it. If only I were friends with Marty McFly................lol

Are people going to be looking at today's price guides 60 years from now, saying "I wish I could pay that for a 1914 D"?

[onecent1909]

Yes... Yes they are... I have looked at all the Redbook..1947 till now... the price swings..... WOW...

$25 for a 1793 Chain Cent in Fine? I'll take 2 dozen...

[Historyhound]

Same $25 for a Fine 1796 quarter. Same coin, $28,000 now.

[onecent1909]

I do want to point out that on the cover of the OP's book...these are what dealers would pay...
not what you would buy them for...
1952-1953 5th edition REDBOOK price...
1796 quarter fine: $85.00
1793 Chain Fine: $125.00 for AMERI.
$100.00 for AMERICA
1909 S VDB UNC: $13.50
1914 D UNC: $27.50

I would still like the REDBOOK prices... but just to give a little context.. OP's book is a "Dealers buy" list

[GrumpyEd]

1909 S VDB UNC: $13.50
1914 D UNC: $27.50

I'll take an unc roll of each at those prices, it's only $2050 for both rolls (dealer price).
Whatever dealer markup was it should still be a great deal.

Welllll if you don't see me on here for a while it's because I've gone back to working on that time machine.

Convert your savings into....common average 1934A $100.00 bills..... made before this book.. carry it with you in your "time machine"... open a new acct... deposit money... and... there you go... OR go back with all the hundreds you can get.. buy the "coins you love".. bring them back to now... sell and repeat ... HOWEVER.. this will change who owns those bills and coins in the 60's changing the outcome of what is owned and not owned by many,many people... yielding to the elimination of LCR due to the fact we (U.S.A. ) is now a territory of the first great CUBAN empire....ohhhhhh nooooo......
.....Hello... Mcfly...???

I'm sure the dealer I buy the coins from will be curious why I'm buying these coins with Morgan dollars.
