yeah, I ordered from them about 1910.

The coins were okay, but the P&H was a killer.

Sherman,
Next time let me know, and I'll let you borrow the "way back machine"
MR. Peabody.

 

sorry you were taken...

coin advertisment a little worn & the scan sucks, but if any-one knows what year this advertisement was circulated i would like to know? :secret: thanks, ozarktravler

 

Ah yes, I remember them....nice chaps, always were on the cutting edge of new things. Their brownstone down yonder past the bakery and haberdashery shops was a sight for sore eyes. The owner was in the Great War.....almost got gassed at Ypres. His son is being groomed to take over the family business, but it'll take him about a few more summers before he's ready to take over. Nice boy, but slow on reaction times. Always flirting with the ladies passing his shop going to that new ladies intimate apparel place opened up by that cute crumpet a few doors down....y'know, the daughter of that lumber baron.

The selection was pretty modest. Displayed in very fine Walnut and Cherry cases....cost them maybe $75 per display, done by the wood crafter and the glass blower near the railway station. Lucky him they were willing to do such a job considering the time and effort into crafting them. Selection was great considering the store space. Thought it was limited to American coins...

 

"Newest" date on the flyer I see is 1922 Cent.

Accorting to this chart. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-historical-price-of-gold.htm

Gold spot price hovered around $21 until 1930. Sooo the I don't have a redbook at work and too lazy to give it any real thought. Using the first four gold items...can somebody check my math.

Quarter eagle = 4.18 grams 28.3 grams per ounce = 1/6th ounce

So at a spot of $21 the quarter eagle has a melt value of $ 3.5




Best guess the flyer is from 1922 - 1930

"Wyatt Earp Daily" train robbery $5,000.00 in gold coin

"Wyatt was in pursuit of the Dalton gang" they held up the train outside of deadwood and made off with the loot ( my coin order) some-where the gang buried the gold eagles and proof coins i ordered, if only i had spent 5 cents for insurance If coins could talk:loud: :goofer: p.s. love your story OT

 

You guys are killin' me....thanks for the laughs!!

 

Found date of issue, coin booklet... must see

In looking through the old coin advertisement booklets recently purchased I found the original C. F . Clarke coin book previous add is posted from. Appears early 1900. I recently obtained some nice... really old coin collector advertisement/books some-one kept, pack rat I guess, would like to know where his coin collection went? will share later thanks, ozarktravler

 

Must be from between 1930 and 1933. On the second page it states that coins pre 1830 are over 100 years old - thus must be 1930, and selling gold coins, wouldn't have been doiong that post 1933.

Very interesting reading, thanks a lot.

 

Date is close...

Thanks, glad you like, u seldom see these coin advertisments circa 1895/1900. Probably some poor guys wish list book. Probably worked all day for 10 cents 2 buy it. OT

 

It HAS to be newer than you think. I'm almost positive my dating is accurate to within a couple of years max.

There are 09vdb's on sale (first scan) and 1922 cents!

Even without the plain evidence of the 22s, if it's from 1895/1900 how are they selling liberty nickels at a premium? They also say that IHCs are getting very scarce, they were still circulating in the time you think it's from!

 

nope, clearly dated

possibly in reference the 1883 no cent liberty variety? said was gold plated and passed for five bucks? I give up, I didn't take a close look at add. Plain as day 1909/1922 cent in add. I have a pile of those old coin adds need to go through. thanks for making me honest. OT
