For all dates....how many 69's are there ?
How many Morgan 69's are there ? Hard to believe that with Morgan collectors around in size since the 1880's and 1920's for Saints that we never...

Gold getting whacked again, down about $85 today. Below $1,800....
The Netherlands ?? That should cause a $20 drop in the price.....:D
Is that par for past Summer FUN's ? 240 dealers would not be "full" for the January FUN, based on my sole attendance in 2020. Unless they...
Agreed, but I don't think that Nasser's revolutionaries were in the habit of giving receipts for coins and collectibles to Western Imperialists....
Monetization was a term invented by the government to create the notion of Legal and Illegal 1933 Saints and other coins. What was done in 2003...

You know what I mean....only 1 in the (legal) population census. Although I like your optimism about the other 10 (or 11).....:D

Charley, I'm just going by Sotheby's own figures. Take it up with them, not me. Maybe they were high, but the commentary AFTER the auction was...
I freely admit I am not a philatelic expert. The prices paid for the stamps were at the low end of the range/estimates, whereas the 1933 Saint...
You make some good points, Eddie, but this coin is unique: a popular series...and 1 of a kind. First, I think it would have sold regardless....
Most of the buyers -- especially American -- have disclosed their identity on the winning bids for art the last 30 years that I have been...
