1824/2 Quarter: Values clarification exercise
This auction for an 1824/2 (all 1824s are overdates) U.S. quarter closed
today at $643: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...1009&rd=1&rd=1 That is quite typical of what this coin has been bringing for over three years now. Here are some published values for a VG example of this date: Coin Dealer Newsletter (Greysheet): $180 (dealer wholesale) NGC Numismedia price guide online: $220 2008 Redbook: $225 Coin Prices (Krause Publications): $360 PCGS price guide online: $775 (interpolated, as there is no VG column) Coin World's Coin Values: $1000 (jumped suddenly to that level from $135 on 2/5/2007) What conclusions can we draw from this that are bankable?

James seems to be a lot like sport cards is some ways, once you get past the price for the content of precious metal, the collecting value is what someone is willing to pay at that time and for whatever reason. i have seen 1996 silver eagles selling for as low as $45 and up because of it's low mintage so it would take quite a jump in the price of silver for the recent increases in silver to be affecting a coin that is shown in price guides to be $24. it's all about what someone will pay. on another note,all of this grading is very confusing to us we are new to this hobby. which company is the collectors standard? like beckett is in sport cards. |

In this case there's an explanation that makes sense. Bust quarters
are in greatly increeased demand, for at least two reasons: the formation of the Bust Quarters Collectors Society, a subgroup of the John Reich Collectors Society, and the upcoming publication of TWO new references on the Bust quarter series. One is a total revision and updating of Browning/Breen, the other a detailed die state study. Many coins sold in Heritage's Jules Reiver sale in January 2006, thought to be overpriced at the time, are relative bargains now.

Denis, I can appreciate the fact that the prices are up, nor do I have a problem with your explanation for it. Please note that I am not deploring that fact, but rather that price guides are all over the board for this coin, producing a range of almost 5X from low to high. If a schlub like me, up here in North Lugburz, knows what the market value of it is, and if bidders on eBay know what it is, why do the market analysts who get paid to produce the price guides not know it?

Zut alors! James Let me put my two cents in (probably all it's worth). The published Rarity Rating for the 1824 Capped Bust Quarter has always been an R3. This means it is scarce, but not rare. I believe that the price run-up was the direct result of my not buying a Fine example for $110 a few years ago. Instead, I advised the dealer to offer it on eBay. He did, and that coin brought $192. I was pleased that I could help. I have since worn out my foot kicking myself for not buying that coin. I have since concluded that this coin is harder to find than previously thought. I also noticed that the 1815 has undergone a similar increase in price, but nowhere as much as the 1824. The 1815 is not even scarce. What the two dates have in common, however, is that each has only one die marriage, so collectors don't need to worry about whether their coin is a rare variety or not. I had been puzzled for some time by the skyrocketing prices for the 1824. I have now settled for the proposition that it is probably closer to an R5 than an R3. And is hard to find. And is missing from a lot of date collections. And is perceived to be expensive- a self fulfilling approach to pricing, for both buyers and sellers. HTH. Aram. |
