<p>[QUOTE=&quot;john59, post: 2133983, member: 73760&quot;]I think what&#039;s going to sell these coins more than anything, is going to be the story. There&#039;s a good chance that non-coin collectors will be the big buyers who are willing to pay that amount of money. Most for sure the family has been looking for buyers since day one. I wonder if he only obtained 10 coins. Who knows if he obtained more, sold some and could still be sitting in collections. I was looking, the average wage in 1933 was $1,500 bucks. So even just one $20 gold piece was a big deal to put away in a collection. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>ANNUAL INCOME 1932-1934</b></p><p>Airline Pilot $8,000</p><p>Airline Stewardess $1,500</p><p>Apartment House Superintendent $1,500</p><p>Bituminous Coal Miner $1,500</p><p>Bus Driver $1,373</p><p>Chauffeur $624</p><p>Civil Service Employee $1,280</p><p>College Teacher $3,111</p><p>Construction Worker $907</p><p>Dentist $2,391</p><p>Department Store Model $936</p><p>Doctor $3,382</p><p>Dressmaker $780</p><p>Electrical Worker $1,559</p><p>Engineer $2,520</p><p>Fire Chief (30,000 - 50,000 pop) $2,075</p><p>Hired Farm Hand $216</p><p>Hired Gun $5,200</p><p>Housemother - Boys School $780 Lawyer $4,218</p><p>Live-in-maid $260</p><p>Mayor (30,000 - 50,000 pop) $2,317</p><p>Pharmaceutical Salesman $1,500</p><p>Police Chief (30,000-50,000 pop) $2,636</p><p>Priest $831</p><p>Public School Teacher $1,227</p><p>Publicity Agent $1,800</p><p>Railroad Executive $5,064</p><p>Railroad Conductor $2,729</p><p>Registered Nurse $936</p><p>Secretary $1,040</p><p>Statistician $1,820</p><p>Steel Worker $423</p><p>Stenographer - Bookkeeper $936</p><p>Textile Worker $433</p><p>United States Congressman $8,663</p><p>Waiters $520</p><p><b>Average salary</b> $1,368[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
