Went to the Chicago show this morning.... very busy at the open. I would guess it was just as busy this year as last year. Couldn't find ANY 1928 Peace dollars to add to my hoard.... all of them had issues.... I did find 2 that were borderline ok.... but checked my "don't buy" cert. list and noticed they were on there and that I'd looked at them before at a much lower price over the last few years and declined....$ 1100 now for "average" quality coins for this key date @4.... 63's were going for $800. Finally coming up in price...........
As far as other series... I can't really say.... I only collect Peace $.... I did see an unbelieveable 1928-s@4 for $ 2250 and a "WOW coin" 1926 ms66 in a PCGS that was monster blast white (First I've EVER seen like that) $ 2250 for that one... almost bought it to "turn"... a remarkable coin as well....

PS I like the idea of a personal cert # list with prices. Interesting idea. Maybe many already do this, but it's the first time I heard of the practice.
Yes... ONE... MS62 ANACS slab..... rim toning with some colors but not much.....
I started keeping a list of all the slabbed examples I had seen of a particular coin series about a year ago. It's a great idea for keeping track of the coins I see, as well as giving me an at-a-glance list of what's out there. I think it's most useful if you get to most of the big shows - it does take a lot of time to write all that info down, though.
It's also best if you pick a fairly uncommon coin to keep track of, otherwise you could spend hours at a big show writing down slab numbers!
Check out the Southern Gold Society
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Lots of 65's and 66's. Too rich for my blood today
I HAVE to keep track of numbers because just collecting one date, I run into the same coins over and over.... It drove me nuts.... I have well over 100 cert # of MS64's in PCGS slabs that are "substandard" ... I don't keep track of NGC's or any other 3rd party grading companies..... I always hear.... "O, you're the guy who's buying all the PQ 28......"
Someone also had a blast 1927-s at 4. A VERY hard coin to find in that condition.... $ 1300....
