But with Morgans, 5 or 6 thousand coins can be absorbed just like that. And since he discovered all these coins 5 yrs ago - it&#039;s a pretty sure bet they&#039;re all in the market already. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My question to you would be who graded them, your friend ? I mean given the amount of time that has passed the coins have almost certainy gone through the marketplace and been graded &amp; slabbed. And if the numbers of the pop tops haven&#039;t changed, then I&#039;d guess that the grading companies didn&#039;t agree with his estimates of the grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last time, that I know of, that the 1896-O in MS65 was sold it brought about $150,000, but that was 2002. There is one listed in MS66 that sold for about $350,000 last year. Personally I think it was the same coin in both cases, just upgraded the second time. So if a 67 came on the market it would probably go for about 450k. And I doubt it would have much effect on the price of the 66. But ya never know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now there are several Morgans out there that grade 68, even a few 69&#039;s. 67&#039;s are almost common comparatively speaking. If you wanted to spend the time you could find out where they came from and when. All you&#039;d have to do would be track the auction records. The general public might no tbe able to find out names and such, but you could certainly find the dealer&#039;s names and date of the sales. With coins like that - it&#039;s not really hard. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway - hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
