<p>[QUOTE="EyeAppealingCoins, post: 3272624, member: 96749"]It is all a matter of degree. I agree that higher graded pieces and condition rarities should command premiums, and $3k is a bit iffy for me. I don't collect common date Morgan Dollars with rare exceptions either for what it is worth. I wouldn't pay $5k for any common date Morgan (monster toners excepted and even then it would be a VERY rare occurrence). I just don't see a 68 or 69 being worth the 130x price of a gem SMS coin without something else super special in its favor. I remember when real MS67s Morgans (not the grade inflated crap common today) were fetching about $700 when MS68s were fetching around $3k. To me, a 4x premium isn't quite as bonkers. It is still not my cup of tea, but at least I <i>can rationalize it</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>(P.S. Blast white non-PL/DMPL Morgans are hard to love below MS67 IMHO).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
