1968 Shirriff Coins

[BillP]

I understand that there is a series of coins that are SP within the set and that New York and Oakland coins are somewhat scarcer than other SP's. What coins are the toughest? All of these or only 1 or 2. I haven't seen a guide that comments on this. At least in the US. I have seen some older threads that group these SP's into sections, but no guide.

Comments welcome. thx

Thx. Are any of the Group 5 Oakland coins scarcer than the others? Also the NY coins scarcer? The NY14 seems to be priced higher even though he is not a star.

I've been trying to locate a price Guide for these. I know years ago there were values in a Charlton publication. I also seem to remember another small magazine/book type paperback that had values. Most people who collect these probably have there own viewpoint, looking for any recent guideline.

thx
