    Notice they list no coins after 1958.

    Some of those prices are fairly reflective of today's prices. Makes me glad I wasn't collecting back then.

    Interesting to look at old pricing information... I was buying some CC Morgans back then... they were a bit cheaper at that time. Cheers, RickO

    And early Large Cents!

    I’m guessing, like a lot of ‘guides’ then and now, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you could find the coins actually for sale at these prices.

    You must be talking about the lower grade bullion-sensitive walkers. UNCs are the same price or cheaper now. And if you look at 1989 prices, UNC walkers are about 80% lower in price than they were then.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, evn when irrefutably accurate.

    If you want to be depressed, look at the 1988/1989 prices.

    Woman came in with a set of 7 BU Walkers. She bought it in October 1988 - receipt still present. She paid almost $1200 for them. They are worth maybe $150 today (one's a slider).

    I was looking at the early keys in mid - AU grades.

    I always contended that the late dates in high grade were over priced back then, preferring to spend my $ on legitimately scarce coins.
