<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bannishg, post: 896906, member: 25474&quot;]Hello, my name is Greg, 22, and have been gradually acquiring coins since I was nine. I realize that my first post shouldn&#039;t be a request, but I&#039;m in desperate need for information. My dad, who was born in May 1950, just had his 60th a few days back, and I want to surprise him with a &quot;what it was worth back then&quot; kind of list, because he gets a kick out of how cheap the coins were back then. Here is a few coin prices I have, all from 1950/51:</p><p><br /></p><p>-1791 Washington Liverpool Half-Penny, AU-55: $72.50 (sold for $103,500.00 in 2006!)</p><p>-1907 St. Gaudens $20, UNC: $95.00</p><p>-1884 Trade Dollar, BU: $760.00</p><p>-1804 Silver Dollar, Proof: $3,250.00</p><p>-1877 Indian Head Cent, Very Good: $9.50</p><p>-1929 Indian $2.50, UNC: $8.50</p><p>-1798 Large Cent, G/VG: $6.00</p><p>-1856 Flying Eagle Cent, Fine: $90.00</p><p><br /></p><p>I am looking for more prices between 1950-53! This was probably the last era where the numismatic fever hadn&#039;t set in, as prices rose like never before after the early 50&#039;s. (1950 prices are closer to 1935 prices than to 1957 prices!)</p><p><br /></p><p>I know reciting the values from 60 years ago is incredibly painful, (I saw hobo&#039;s post on 1935 prices!) but I would greatly appreciate any help! I couldn&#039;t find any back issues of &quot;The Numismatist&quot;, nor any &quot;price lists&quot; from the era on ebay!</p><p><br /></p><p>Greg B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
