We went to the coin shop and got some hole filler for $25FV silver that I got at 10x. Now Franklin just needs the 1909-S VDB! :D

In 1960, when you paid in SILVER coin for your rare pennies, you would pay according to my 1960 Red Book (As a kid buying coins in 1960, I remember dealers using the Red Book to determine what you had to pay):

1912-S VF 3.50 (there was no VF in 1960: G (well worn including today's G and VG grades), F (VF-EF coins of today), and EF (AU coins of today with some luster)
1911-S VF 4.50
1909-S G 5.50
1931-S EF 7.50
1924-D VF 4.50
1914-D VG 20.00

In 1960, you would pay in SILVER coins, for these pennies $45.50.

You were better off keeping your pocket change!

Looks like we need a 1922 Plain also. We went from the blue folder to the DANSCO album and got a new hole! :cry:

Cool buy with silver. I'd stay away from the 22 no D, its nothing but an over-polished die and 95% of the people who buy one end up selling it for a loss. How about a 55 doubled die, now that is cool :-).
