Colonial Price Guide now live!
Price Guide menu page
Scroll down Price Guide menu page, then click in Colonial section to check it out.
This is the first pass, so don't laugh too hard.
We did a lot of work. Ron Guth spent a lot of time and we had a good deal of help from Colonial expert extraordinaire John Agre.
Still have a lot of work and price adjustments to do. Don't have French Colonies up yet...we're working on it.
These are great coins. Enjoy!

Just one problem ... they're all too expensive.
thanks for the announcement and it looks great so far!

On the flip side, it just reaffirms the near-hoplessness I have in procuring a nice, graded example of Mass silver, so thanks for that one (no sarcasm emoticon...lol)!!
Overall, I think it's a nice addition. Take prices tongue-in-cheek, as with all series, but good job (and overdue, IMHO), nonetheless, HRH and PCGS!

I second that.
I would consider changing the name to Colonial - Early Federal Price Guide. Everyone knows the series as Colonial, but that's because it's easier, not because it's accurate.
At the present, the Libertas Americana medal is placed under the Washington Pieces. It really doesn't fit there, but it is important, and assuming it needs to fit into the current categories, I guess Washington Pieces is as good as any.
That said, I would probably suggest a category for early medals. In it, I would place items such as Comitia Americana medals and items like the Washington Funeral Medals. Most of these are covered inside CoinFacts, so it wouldn't take a ton of additional work. At very least, if you're going to include the Libertas American medal under Washington medals, I would also include the Washington Before Boston medal as well.

These are difficult to grade ....there is no definitive authority on grading these I know of....I wonder what the grading services use?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody and be perfect !

At any rate, if the the Mercury Dime parallel was an attempt to argue that one inaccuracy allows for another, I will disagree.
<< <i>Maybe next, Colonial copies. The legitimate ones, such as from Dickeson, Idler, etc. Not the modern junk. >>
I don't think so - unless PCGS decides to start grading them.

With that said, I think this will be a fantastic resource going forward and kudos to PCGS for going ahead with this for everyone to see!
