Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 728752, member: 66"]Vess I think yu are comparing apples and oranges.  My comments were made on an SVDB in GOOD, and I don't think they are going for $1,500 in GOOD.  From what I see on completed eBay sales it looks more like $500 for a GOOD. and that would be an ROI of 4% from 1988 to today. But lets assume you meant an Unc and look at those numbers  In 1963 an Unc was $280.  In 1988 it was $350.  That is a 1% ROI, even worse than the return in Good.  Now from $350 in 1988 to $1500 today you are doing considerably better at 8%.  Now how about the long run from 1963 to today in Unc?  It works out to 4%, still pretty lousy and just slightly better than if you had bought a Good and kept it the same 45 years.  It returned 3%  And since the prices seem to be barely keeping up with inflation, at least the official rate, then yes it is probably just about as easy now for the average person to buy those coins now as it was back then.[/QUOTE]
