<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3070545, member: 66&quot;]Do you consider the 1959 Jefferson nickel to be a key date? It has about the same mintage, and they weren&#039;t widely hoarded like the 2009 was. So they should be a lot less available in mint state than the 2009. And there worth squat.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Spot price of gold for most of the late 60s early 70s was $35 an ounce. I remember when I first started collecting in 1972, I could&#039;ve bought double Eagles for $65-$80.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect Conder tokens, back when I first started collecting coins I could&#039;ve bought uncirculated pieces for two dollars apiece. Mint red pieces were three dollars apiece. I didn&#039;t buy them as I didn&#039;t have the book on the series. The book cost $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I did start collecting them seriously in 1997, uncirculated pieces cost $20-$25, mint red pieces were $30-$40. The book was still $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since then the book has been up to $200 and is currently around $125, it&#039;s almost impossible to find uncirculated pieces for less than $200 and mint red pieces can go for $300-$350. So you&#039;re talking roughly a 100 fold increase on price for these tokens since I started collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
