  Neat set, but seems like the kind of thing that is thinly traded - meaning prices could be all over the place.

  Prices have been slowly rising over the last 10years. They aren't as thinly traded as you might think, but they aren't Morgan's either.
  
  If you check out the Heritage auction prices realized, you can get a feel pretty quickly for what the market is. The rarer varieties (pointed bust or 6 leaf reverse) are the ones that can be tough to price.

  Thin market = unpredictable prices.

  I bought a J 208 in AU 50 from Heritage last month. I paid $800 for it which includes juice. It was strong money, but I always wanted one, and didnt come across one too often.

  They usually are commonly available in the Heritage auctions. Keep a look out.

  Greg, one of the local South Bend dealers has had one in his case at least all summer long. Next show is in December I can get the info on it for you and he will let me take a photo of it I am certain. If you are interested let me know early December as I guarantee you I will forget unless reminded.
