If anything, the "community" has already "revolted" -- by refusing to buy those proofs from dealers at a significant markup. If dealers can't sell...
Do you mean 100,000 cents ($100), or $100K (ten MILLION cents)? :eek: Welcome to CoinTalk!
I'd guess that it was mired in muck with a Buffalo nickel. At some point the Buffalo was pried away from the muck, leaving that impression.
I'm not a fan at all of the Morgan dollar, but I respect some of his other coin designs. Still, I wish both Morgan and the Barbers hadn't...
I realize you were being facetious with your 2nd paragraph. There. :) Can't be too careful around here, though, you never know when kids might be...

Jim, have you tried any of the newer 50g x 0.001g scales? I haven't, mine is a 30g x 0.001g, but I'd love to have an accurate/repeatable mg scale...
