Coin Values Magazine...Franklin Prices wrong?

I took my first look at "Coin Values" Magazine this past weekend. I think they had some printing errors there. 65's worth more than 66's. Non FBL's worth more than FBL's. Any regular readers here? Do they have those problems frequently?

Thats not a typo. For instance look at the 53-S in 64 FBL then look at the Same year in 65 grade. The FBL designation brings more money. Remember that these coins are plauged with striking problems. The better the strike the more money it will bring.

Sorry, I read your post wrong. Now that I look at it, that is odd. Hmmmmmmm maybe More common in 65 FBL then in a 66 non-FBL? That almost doesn't sound right.

P.S. I'm looking at the Jan 3 '05, issue

Look at the 48-D.

wow! thats a huge jump! 65FBL 275.00 while a 66 is 2100.00?

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the pop report reads on the 48-D in a 65 FBL and a 66 -non FBL

65 FBL - 770/77/0

66 - 2/0

The one I saw at Books-a-million had a 48-D FBL cheaper than a 48-D w/o fbl. totally weird.

Here is something I found quite interesting..........has no bearing on Frankies but July 2004 Coin prices mag has a 1923-D Saint Gaudins in VF for 165.00........That a good deal for an ounce of gold?

I know that Mark is working hard on making Trends a realistic guide to current coin prices. If you e-mail him your concerns or find errors, I'm sure he will fix them.

Has anyone noticed that since Coin Values went to the magazine format the price changes on coins, especially Lincoln cents, have been much less frequent. Doesn't really matter because no price guide can tell you what YOUR coin is worth. Only a potential buyer of your coin can do that. Steve

I think he has been working on getting the Seated and Early Series up to date????
