Dockwalliper Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I think I nearly tripled my money. At least acording the the guide in the NN. Probably not by the new Red Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Out of curiosity does anyone ever take a look at the bluebook values? Sure makes our stuff look cheap lol. 500,000 worth in redbook might get you 375,000 blue book prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtryka Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 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 > 29,500 1908-D WM $20 MS-63 $1,200 > 1,450 1920-S $20 MS-63 $65,000 > 72,500 1921 $20 MS-63 $125,000 > 175,000 1923-D $20 MS-63 $750 > 900 1924-D $20 MS-63 $7,500 > 8,000 1925 $20 MS-63 $750 > 900 1925-D $20 MS-63 $9,500 > 11,000 1926-D $20 MS-63 $22,500 > 30,000 1926-S $20 MS-63 $4,500 > 5,000 1927-S $20 MS-63 $51,000 > 52,500 1929 $20 MS-63 $22,500 > 25,000 1930-S $20 MS-63 $52,500 > 95,000 1931 $20 MS-63 $32,500 > 47,500 1931-D $20 MS-63 $34,500 > 47,500 1932 $20 MS-63 $31,500 > 40,000 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 (1,050) each and an 1841 $10 in VF-20 for $300 (350). 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!!! By my calculations I increased my portfolio to $641,750! Maybe not the best, but a 28.4% return for a year. Of course since I still need most of those coins I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regandon Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would like the Augustus Humbert/US Assayer 20 dollar gold in Pr-65. A PGCS Pr.-65 sold for 1.3mil. Seeing how I'm 13, by the time I reach of age, that baby should do me good. Melissa at dads computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I had a list of about 14 coins, but narrowed the ones I wanted down to these for the greatest potential... Standing Liberty Quarters 1916 in EF40 $11,000 on page 165, Qty of 6 for $66,000 1918\7-S in EF40 $5,500 on page 166, Qty of 20 for $110,000 Barber Half 1904-S in AU50 $1,500 on page 192, Qty of 50 for $75,000 Seated Liberty Dollar 1858 in VG8 $3,000 on page 208, Qty of 51 for $153,000 Trade Dollar 1878-CC in AU50 $3,200 on page 210, Qty of 30 for $96,000 And I spent every last cent I had I made $78,400 or 15.68 % on the $500K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I got the new 2007 book and here are the prices for all coins in the contest. 2005 Silver Eagle UNC $14 1909 D Saint Gaudens VF $625 So I end up with 900*$625 = $562500 + (2291*$14) = $594574 An 18.9% gain, I outpaced inflation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I STILL haven't purchased the new book and don't feel like hanging out at the library again. Anybody willing to see what my profit was for me? PUH-LEESE? HUH, HUH, PRETTY PUH-LEESE with strawberry foam, chocolate, gumdrops and sugar on top?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMS Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 2005 Silver Eagle UNC $14 I made about $80k or so. But this also shows you that you should not really rely on "annual" "pricing" models like the Red/Blue Books. Prices are very versatile. The $14 per coin was based on a $7-$8 silver spot pricing + premium. Selling your Silver Eagles today for $14 each would be really....stupid? You should be able to get spot + premium, and since spot is over $14..... But, then people wouldn't buy the Red/Blue Books if they were released monthly or weekly like the CDN. It would be best if there were an at least quarterly version of a Coin Collector's Newsletter showing current rather than accumulative retail prices. The red book is more an historical analysis rather than a market analysis. Even some of the one's like the gold would probably sell much higher than the Red Book is showing. Neat game though Do we know who the winner is yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I haven't gotten a 2007 Red Book yet, so I can't revalue my purchases. I'm probably the winner though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2,006) 1921-D Dimes VG x $125.00 = ...............$250,750 (2,005) 2005 Silver Eagles Unc. x $14= .............$ 28,070 (62) 1858 Seated Liberty Dollars VG x $3,400 = $210,800 (10) 1909-D St. Gaudens $20 x $625= ............... $ 6,250 (6) 1894-S Morgans x $1,900 = .......................... $ 11,400 GRAND TOTAL..................................................... $507,270 That's a rather low profit of only 1.4%, compared to the rest. Now, there's something strange going on. In your original post, you mentioned the following: (6) 1894-S Morgans x $9,000 = .......................... $ 54,000 [64] I can't find any 1894-S Morgan in my 2006 redbook with a value even near $9000, however, the 1894 in ms-64 was $9,000 so I assume you meant that one... That will chage your list to: (2,006) 1921-D Dimes VG x $125.00 = ...............$250,750 (2,005) 2005 Silver Eagles Unc. x $14= .............$ 28,070 (62) 1858 Seated Liberty Dollars VG x $3,400 = $210,800 (10) 1909-D St. Gaudens $20 x $625= ............... $ 6,250 (6) 1894-S Morgans x $10,000 = .......................... $ 100,000 GRAND TOTAL..................................................... $595,870 And now it's a profit of 19.17%, a lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trantor_3 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Results so far it appears to be listed for US$ 1,000,000 in the 2007 edition that's 100% up in one year $714,260....a porfit of $214,260 Not too shabby. By my calculations I increased my portfolio to $641,750! Maybe not the best, but a 28.4% return for a year. GRAND TOTAL..................................................... $595,870 And now it's a profit of 19.2%, a lot better So I end up with 900*$625 = $562500 + (2291*$14) = $594574 An 18.9% gain, I outpaced inflation I made about $80k or so. I made $78,400 or 15.68 % on the $500K + $4 left over from the 500,000, what brings the total to $534,482.00, a profit of 6.9% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbycoin Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Everyone seems to have done well. At least no one is in the Red. It would seem that Trantor_3 is our winner as he doubled his money... with one coin If anyone else made more then a $500,000 profit let me know. I didnt do any math. If no one else claims it this week, the Chunk o' silver.... thats worth almost $4 more now then it was when I listed the contest.... will be sent off to Erik. Thanks to Everyone For Playing. I think I will keep the game going, more details later. -Bobby -Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
