<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2598853, member: 83738&quot;]From what I&#039;ve read, the 1921 Morgan was so undesirable at the time the proofs held relatively low premium.&nbsp; Chapman reportedly purchased one of his own coins for ~$5 in a 1922 auction for the person to whom he had sold the coin to originally.&nbsp; At the time, that was an unheard of amount and it was speculated he was trying to raise the value of the coin to increase his own coins&#039; worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I understand correctly, the Zerbe Proof sales were similar to a modern day television coin show product.&nbsp; So, it was well within the reach of an average collector at the time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>wow factor?&nbsp; The San Fransisco 1921 morgans were notoriously poorly minted.&nbsp; So, ... maybe it was graded on a sliding scale?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
