bobbycoin Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Coin Market The Game: Thanks to bahabully for this idea is spawned from his post. Here is the game: Get out your 2006 Redbook, look through it, find the coins you like, more importantly (in this game at least) pick the coins you think will be worth MORE in the 2007 Redbook. You have $500,000 to spend, You can spend it on any combination of Coins, Tokens or Sets. This might take a while to do but it should be a lot of fun when the next Redbook comes out! To list your entry please list: 1. The coin you are buying with Date, mint mark, Type, ect 2. The grade of the coin you are buying 3. List the number of coins of that type you are buying in Parentheses ( ) 4. The Price of the coin in the 2006 Redbook. 5. The total price of that type (not needed if only buying 1) 6. The page it is in your 2006 Redbook in Square Brackets [ ] Also please list the type of redbook you have (Spiral or hardback) in your post. Then add up your purchase and list the total. It should be no more then $500,000 Examples: (These Examples are from the 2005 Redbook) I have the Hardbound Redbook 1879CC $10 Gold Eagle vf-20 (2) $8,500 $17,000 [226] 1794 Nml head Half Cent AU-50 (1) $7,000 [79] 2000S Proof Sacagawea Dollar pf-65 (1000) $10 $10,000 [200] When the 2007 RedBook comes out we will "sell" all the coins back and the person with the most money will win... An UNK 2006 Silver American Eagle Have Fun!! If you don't have a 2006 Redbook and you would like to participate check your local Library or spend the day at your local Book Store. -Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Well, since this is a fantasy, I would buy what I would love to have, though they may not necessarily be the best performers in the 2007 redbook. Here goes: 1907 HR WR $20 MS-63 $26,500 1908-D WM $20 MS-63 $1,200 1920-S $20 MS-63 $65,000 1921 $20 MS-63 $125,000 1923-D $20 MS-63 $750 1924-D $20 MS-63 $7,500 1925 $20 MS-63 $750 1925-D $20 MS-63 $9,500 1926-D $20 MS-63 $22,500 1926-S $20 MS-63 $4,500 1927-S $20 MS-63 $51,000 1929 $20 MS-63 $22,500 1930-S $20 MS-63 $52,500 1931 $20 MS-63 $32,500 1931-D $20 MS-63 $34,500 1932 $20 MS-63 $31,500 That would complete my set with the exception of the 27-D and 33 for $487,700. With the change I would buy 12 1916-S $20 MS-63 @$1,000 each and an 1841 $10 in VF-20 for $300. I have the spiral bound 2006 Redbook and the Saints are all on pages 258-261 and the $10 is on page 248. Very fun contest!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
