Rarity and Price Guide to So Called Dollars

If you have ever wondered about how to figure out how rare a So Called Dollar might be, or how much one should cost, you might want to consider the following two information sources in addition to the small price guide insert that comes with the 2nd Ed of the SCD H+K book: 1) Check out John Raymond's Website for how many "sales" of SCDs have occured over the years at -- http://www.socalleddollar.com/study2ndED.html 2) Consider purchasing a copy of the "SmallForest" Guide. I have a 2010 paper copy that I got off a coin dealer on the internet. See http://www.medalzine.com for some background information. Of course, you can always e-mail Jeff Shevlin and ask his opinion, which is actually sometimes better than trying to figure out based on past data since Jeff has usually seen quite a bit behind the scenes.

Hi, It was very difficult for me to find values for some of these Medals so I made a list based off completed Heritage and eBay sales and asking prices http://www.greatestcollectibles.com/socalled-dollar-prices/ for So Called Dollars. I hope some of you fins t useful or feel free to email me if you see I am off on any of the prices. I intend to update it once every two months or so. thanks,

I have all the small forest books. But I can't seem to find him anymore. Thought I would find him at medalzine as you listed but I cant hook up with medalzine as you posted?????

you may want to update taking into consideration the recent auction results by jeff. Many of these pieces rarely come on the open market. You may also want to consider the raymend rarity study along with the inaccurate NGC census. Similar pieces of the same rarity should be worth the same amount. So if you see the sale price of one piece and then another piece of similar rarity comes up it they should be worth the same. Although in auctions pricing can be either high or low based on the number and deep pockets of the competing bidders at that time.
