A good fraction have auction prices going back 50+ years on the same coin. A few have auction prices from pre 1900. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just chose 1 example at random. One could look at basically any coin&#039;s price history in the book and see a dramatic increase in price like the one I quoted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
