<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigTee44, post: 1805360, member: 41883&quot;]So at the coin show on Sunday I picked up a book: Handbook of United States Coins with Premium List 1975 Thirty-Second Edition R.S. Yeoman</p><p><br /></p><p>So I bought this so I could see how much coins cost 40 years ago(about how many years left until I retire) so I can compare it with prices today.</p><p><br /></p><p>So according to this book it says I could get a 1877 Indian in VF for $150, or a 09SVDB in VF for $95, or a 1916-D Mercury in VF $175, or a 1955 DDO EF for $170.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in todays world that&#039;s not a lot of money, but for those of you collecting back in the mid 70&#039;s, just how expensive was it back then to buy those coins. Is it just as expensive today but just inflation thrown in? </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s funny to look and see some sleepers in this book, if only I had a time machine....</p><p><br /></p><p>Another question for the long time collectors....</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think the price of silver coinage would be for common dates if the price of silver wasn&#039;t so high? What did you use to be able to buy Morgans for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
