I say those are good figures to point out whenever someone starts talking about "investing" in key coins, or says "buy the keys first because...
Ah. Well, if you ever see me selling Morgans, at least you'll know I haven't cherry-picked them -- not very effectively, anyhow. :oops:
Yeah, but if I'm in the middle of a pasture and see hoofprints, I'm going to look for horses and donkeys before I look for zebras. ;)
Is this a VAM thing? Numismedia says the 1899-O is perfectly ordinary all the way through MS grades -- yeah, $25K for MS68, but even with my...
