Unfortunately, there was no move in the Price Guide on the 1909-O Barber Quarter in AU55. I openly admit that I even lobbied PCGS to update the prices on this one, :devil:. David Hall even emailed me back and told me that he knew the prices needed some updating and that they were working on it, just too bad for me they didn&#039;t get to it by 12/1/10! For reference an XF40 example sold on eBay this week for $1276!!!!</span></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">And since BNB was banned and can&#039;t post his results, his update is:</span></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">555 x 1986 Silver Eagles in MS63 - $31 each x 555 = <b>$17,205!!!</b> </span></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">How about the rest of ya?????? Can anyone top BNB????? Or was silver the best investment play over the previous 12 months??</span></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Mike </span></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">By the way, anyone up for another challenge??? Maybe start it 1/1/11 and let it go until 12/1/11????</span></p> </p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
