1909-S VDB: $77.50 in Unc. 1877 Indian Head: $175 in Unc.
To add a little more intrigue on coin price appreciation, a 1909-S VDB, in strictly inflation adjusted dollars based on Consumer Price Index, would be $500.69 today, the 1877 Indian Head would be $1,130.58...
Here's some numbers from the First Red Book, which was dated 1947 but issued in 1946:
1857 Flyer in Unc. $5.00
1909-S-VDB Unc. $ 15.00
1877 Indian Unc. $ 37.50 - Proofs were $60.00 Today Proofs sell for less than the Mint State version.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
So, correct me if I'm wrong, was the 50-d worth $2000 a roll, $50 a coin in 1964? So that'd be $300 or $12,000 in today's money! Imagine a BU 50-d nickel costing $300!
1914-D Lincoln in Fine was $40 ... only listed prices for Good, Fine, Unc. and Proof.
At the height of the roll speculation, the 50-D got up there, but I don't know if it ever brought $300. My 1966 Blue Book shows a buying price of $12 in XF...

There were nearly two million of these which were saved in uncirculated condition but the demand was very high. Today there are lots of coins that can be bought for less than a dollar (twenty cents in '64 dollars) and have fewer than two million existing in unc.
Man, would have loved to tucked away a few Unc rolls of the 79-CC in 1959: $10 a coin ... Common date CC Morgans (82-84) were $3 to $4 in Unc...1889 CC would set you back all of $65 ... most Morgan proofs were $50 to $60, to boot.

Hmmm....how about my birth year Lincoln in Proof 69?

Russ would want to know what his AH MS68DCAM would sell for
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

What was the 79-CC Morgan Dollar going for back then?
would be interesting to see if it was more or less in 59. (pre treasury release)
