<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3202443, member: 76863&quot;]Those were VERY strong prices for most would have guessed at the time.&nbsp; They both reflect a belief in something very special.&nbsp; The auction was just simply more than one person really wanting it and being willing to spend what they needed to for it.&nbsp; If you have the financial ability to spend 100k+ on a single coin getting something you love and will enjoy can often be more important than price.&nbsp; It&#039;s been clear for a while that there are people who are willing to spend what they need to for something they love.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not being conservative or even ultra conservative doesn&#039;t necessarily mean the other period is loose.&nbsp; Loose by comparison yes, but that&#039;s different than being actually loose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The supposed 66 grade is meaningless if it occurred before plus grading since you can&#039;t get a plus.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the gold sticker I would have been more surprised if it did.&nbsp; I know the currently popular theory for gold is at minimum a coin that would sticker at the next grade, I personally believe it is more restrictive than that and think it&#039;s multiple grades with few exceptions.&nbsp; The gold sticker percentage is something like 1 percent of what they sticker and out of that Mercs/Morgans/Commems in the midrange MS are a good chunk of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
