[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1349819, member: 112"]Before you play this game you need to decide what "book" you're using. Red Book aint gonna cut it. The most recent auction on Heritage shows a 1915 Barber half, graded VG10 by PCGS sold for about $100. And you also have to make sure that you compare apples to apples. In other words you can't buy a problem coin and then compare what you paid for it to the value of a problem free coin. That aint gonna cut it either. And, it is highly important that the "book" value be noted at the time that you buy the coin. Otherwise it doesn't count. Not meaning to reign in on your contest, but if you're gonna play the game, you gotta play by the rules. Not my rules - THE rules. Otherwise you're just fooling yourselves.[/QUOTE]
