See - this is why I get crazy about fair use and copyright laws. This book came from the University of California and is a priceless source of information on the early stages of coin production in the US, and it seems to list and describe every US Coin up until the Morgan Dollar from an educated perspective. Your looks at Nuismastics at its earliest stages and the handing down of otherwise lost information.

great resources! I am definitely going to be there alot! Thanks for sharing!

 

Isn't that something! I'm working on some more resources on the 1794 Minting machine that made that AU58 1794 Dollar.

So me and Ruben were just talking about this, which I find to be amazing: If you had purchased the 1794 dollar back in 95' (the last one listed on Heritage) it would have cost you $95,000. So in just about 14 years that coin would have made you almost $400,000, IMO that is one damn fine investment!

 

was that the same coin or different grades?

Ruben

 

They both were 58s the coin that sold in 95' was graded by NGC, and the one that just sold was graded by PCGS.

 

Talk about key date inflation

 

Not a bad investment, but not that good either. It's less than 8% per year, I believe -- and that's before factoring in inflation.
