Yes, I agree low grade prices should be there as a collector of SA Mid-low grade it would be helpful.

I finely thought I found a prize and it turns out to be a common coin, because the book made a mistake. The very first coin in the book in the Fourth Edition of the Cherrypickers' Guide. 1829,9 over3 (URS-2.I-5.L-5.) Bust Half dime that I bought, matching the exact photo, turns out to be a common half dime.

I don't have the words to express my disappointment with this book.

how do you figure the book is wrong?

[IGWT]

I like the CPG. But, if I were to complain about the price guide, it would be to criticize the inclusion of any guide at all. It's less an analysis of prices paid in the market than (for the most part) a guess by a couple of people for each series what the coins could or should be worth.

What did you pay for this coin and did you buy it on Ebay?

[Keleum]

Well, sell it back someone else is likely to make the same mistake...

 

But seriously how did you figure out the book was wrong.

[conqueror]

It is an AU coin and I bought it at the local coin shop.

These are the people that told me.

He was given the straight info by some half dime experts on the PCGS forum. Basicly it is the right picture, but it is not a 9/3, and that obv die was used with three different reverses only one of which is rare, but the CPG doesn't mention that, it just references the obv die. He unfortunately has one of the common ones and not the rare one.

 

That can be a problem with the CPG, it is a general guide dabbling in specialized fields. If Fivas had still been involved with the project it probably would not have happened. Stanton does varieties, Fivas does die varieties.
