GOEVERT'S LINCOLN CENT PRICE STUDY

Dick Johnson writes: "My radar screen picked up a price study
of Lincoln cents on the Internet this week. It covers the advancing
price for key date Lincoln cents. It calls itself 'Long Term Value
Trend Study of Lincoln Cent Dates.'

High quality images illustrate a well-written intro. I found only
one booboo: the dreaded redundancy 'reverse side' (reverse means
back side, thus the redundancy). The charts trace yearly prices back
to 1950 and cover 13 conditions where the compiler found them
available.

The compiler hid his identity, but with some digging I learned the
author is Daniel Joseph Goevert of Wichita, Kansas. I got in touch
with Dan this week and learned a little more about his website and
his credentials. He's an aviation industrial engineer by profession
and works for a private aircraft manufacturer in the massive
aircraft industry centered around Wichita.

His initial foray into coin price analysis dates back to 1986 when
he published "Value Trends of United States Coins" containing, as
he stated, "virtually every collectible U.S. coin, in conditions
ranging from Good to Proof."

"This exposure," he adds, "helped me establish a consulting
relationship as Coin Editor with Edmund Publications from 1989 to
2000."

Five of his articles on other numismatic subjects are on his
web site, which he established in 2002. These include Mercury
dimes, Coinage and the War of 1812, New Orleans Mint after
Katrina, and one on coin telemarketing fraud.

These articles can be found at these URLs:

Dan's study of Lincoln cents is well worth the look.  Price studies
aid potential buyers and are often useful for beginning collectors
until they feel confident to trust their own judgment in purchasing
decisions."
