<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8304295, member: 110226&quot;]This is a double eagle, 1852 O, that I bought back in March 1991 for $600, at a local coin shop, as a VF-EF, which I think is a pretty accurate grade, given the level of wear. and surface marks I was mainly attracted to the coin&#039;s lovely greenish tint.&nbsp; That cost, $600 was a lot of money, at least for me, at the time.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never had it slabbed, instead keeping it in a poly liner within a paper 2 X 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>What this coin would bring slabbed and hyped up in today&#039;s market?&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; I&#039;ve been out of the US market for decades now.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1469588[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Given the marked dichotomy in prices between slabbed versus raw coins, of any type or period, in today&#039;s market, I agree that making comparisons with prices two or more decades age is problematic.&nbsp; To do a relatively consistent analysis, then the comparison should be limited to raw coin prices now and raw coin prices in the past, an apples to apples approach, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
