This week at our monthly coin club meeting I am presenting on early commemorative coins. I am revising a PowerPoint presentation I wrote back in 2010. One area to revise is showing how early commemoratives have dropped in price and they may be at a trough. Thus, it may be ideal as a series to collect for fun and just maybe profit. I am looking for some data or a graph showing prices for certain commemoratives at a specific grade over the past 10 years, or better yet the value of a 50 coin set in a specific grades(s) over the years. Does anyone have information of this, or where can I find this information? also if you have tidbits of information on commemorative coins that you would like to share, please reply. Thanks!
It'll be a pain but https://www.pcgs.com/auctionPrices/category/silver-commemorative-1892-1954/789 has a lot of sales results that goes back even further than the time frame you are looking for. Heritage would be a good record source too.
Got's your work cut out for ya 'Dude2...........don't dwell on the 'trough' too much as I'd like to see prices stay put for awhile longer. One thing I see that never seems to come down in price is that pesky Hawaiian.
one way to get something of meaning is to find gray sheets over the past ten years, select the grades and get the value for the 50 coin set. I can take the data points and graph them over time. I can have several lines for ms60, 63, 64, 65 and 66. I just need the data points. If any of you have gray sheets over the past several years and have the numbers I would be overly appreciative. I can also share this on the board.
