I'm not banking on inflation, my coins/bullion are insurance against anything that happens alongside $10,000 an ounce gold. I could give a rats...
Bowers mentions that in the Red Book section talking about the Morgan hoard.
$1,500 to $14 according to this Bowers article in CW:...
The Red Book story and a link I have shows the 1903-O at $1,500 in the early-1960's. David Bowers said he had never even SEEN one up to that time.
BTW, some good Hoard Stories in Bower's Red Book on Morgans. I also think he mentions them in his Double Eagle Red Book. I actually am stuck...
What about the 1903-O ?
Yup, it created a new market. Excellent point.
Temporary shut-ins don't affect price too much.

Saint-Gaudens Hoards: I had a back-and-forth with Roger B. on an NGC thread dedicated to his new book on Saints. At the end of the book, he has...

Would it be much easier to tell if it was wear if you had the coin in hand ? Sometimes it's tough to tell circulated wear from lots of "bag dings...
I was wondering where you were, I thought I PM'd you. Everytime I looked at my top-of-the-line Morgans, I thought about your helpful assistance...
Actually, when you see AU58's trading "rich" or higher than a low-60's MS, you ARE buying the coin and not the label. In theory, every MS60 or...
Trust me, I studied the premiums on those coins for YEARS and they still persist to this day, just with idiotic premiums, not "Bellevue Is...
