<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 74487, member: 112&quot;]As I&#039;m sure you know, values are largely dependent upon condition for any coin. But there is more that plays a part as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>When checking auction prices, always be sure to make note of the dates for the transactions. This is important for several reasons. For since the coin market is cyclical in nature you need to know the date in order to know at what point of the cycle the sale occurred so the price will be relevant to the present time. Also remember, not only is the market as a whole cyclical, but so are subsections of the market like colonial coins. Different types of coins wax and wane in popularity in any coin market. At times of low popularity prices will be low and the opposite will be true in times of high popularity for a given type.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you have noted, records for this type of coin will be somewhat limited, especially on ebay. To find auction records for colonial coins one would do better to check such sources as Heritage, Teletrade, Bowers &amp; Marena, Superior, ANR and the like. The big auction houses will more often than not be the source for coins like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule, if a coin has been sold by one of the major auction houses you can trust that the coin was authentic. And no, there is no time limit for returning counterfeit coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
