1818 large cent- CV price 4X of six months ago?

darktone · December 4, 2005 12:26AM

What's up with that? I have an 1818 N-10 large cent PCGS MS64RB. I really like this coin and don't ever plan on selling it but I keep tabs on the prices now and then. In the Coin World Coin values magazine the only go up to MS63RB and earlier this year the list the price as $650. I get this months guide and the price has been bumped to $2,500! Are large cents really doing that well? mike

Not that I have much faith in Coin Values

My experience has been that the large cent values expressed in coin valuess are more in line with EAC grading rather than TPG graded coins. I think the values have gotten ahead of themselves vs what you can actually expect to sell them for with the excpetion of specific varieties?? Thier has been several topics in various publications about this in the past year.

After the Wes Rassmusen sale this past February, Coin Values made MAJOR increase in all their large cent prices because of the high prices Wes's coins brought. But his coins brought such extremely high prices because they were nice coins, a great many of them were rare die varieties, and a great many of the were condition census coins. It's the same kind of logic that would cause you to greatly increase all the bust dollar prices because the King of Siam set sold for 8 million. They have nothing to do with each other.

Last 64 Red Brown I saw sold for $850.00

I think I paid $300-$400 for this one about in the late 90's. Super looking coin with 50% red and the history of the Randall hoard really makes it an interesting coin.

Man, I'd noticed that. I bought a copy to help price out some of the stuff I had (yeah, yeah, I'm stubborn and don't use Greysheet), and I was astonished. If I recall correctly, I saw something like $165 for a common 1830's Coronet cent in F12!

I put the Coin Values mag down and went back to the good old Redbook and some Numismedia data.

For MOST early American coins, there are not accurate price guides available. The guides that are available (Trends, Red Book, Penny Prices, Greysheet, etc.) are just that........guides. However, the guides are riddled with errors and inconsistencies. The most accurate price guide that I have found is the information gathered through auction prices realized. The prices realized are not perfect, but for the most part, they represent real numbers.

BTW, an average 1818 N-10 in MS64 RB is worth about $800 (+/- $100) today.

The N-10 is the die crack-connected stars variety?
