I have found there really isn't much point trying to find authenticate examples of these coins, trade dollars, bust dollars, or even morgans...
I never said you did. I was simply clarifying for others since a "fix" is usually connotated as something is illegally being manipulated, (as in...

I don't disagree gold is somewhat different. Regarding the "fix", just to clarify to others, all this is is a group of dealers determining the...
