Hi Loosechange

Thank you for this pricing info. These reflect "real-world" prices on what our beloved "CC" coins are truly worth today.

Your Welcome Drummer, I find this info a great tool along with other auction data and then you can make your own conclusion where the market is headed. I do know that the price guides don't truly reflect the real prices out there. My case in point regarding my quest for CC half dollars, the prices are so far off and if the price guides were correct I would have finished the set I am working on a long time ago.
I will probably have a harder time now looking for half dollars because Denis Fortier will be giving a lecture November 12th at the Boston show about building a set of CC half dollars on a Budget.
