[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2355433, member: 73489"]B21, I just think that this an example of splitting the baby (the coin) by multiple designations to the point where nobody is going to care about the super-rare specimen even if they COULD afford it. There's a natural rarity to collecting older coins -- [B][COLOR=#0000ff]a 1927-D Saint Double Eagle, for example [/COLOR][/B]-- but this rarity was created by a chance strike (PL or DPL) and a batch of early RECEIVED coins (they could have been struck weeks later than others, but they arrived by mail first). If gold is at $1,250 I get paying $1,800 for a 2009 UHR in a box. I can even see paying up for an MS-69 or MS-70 that the TPGs encapsulated. And I can see paying double for a PL/DPL coin if you really like the finish. I'm just not sold, even if it could be proven, that the ER designation is worth it.[B][COLOR=#ff0000] I saw a message board post elsewhere that in 2010 there were only 8 ER MS70PLs and one sold on Ebay for $31,000 at that time. [/COLOR][/B] Not a DPL just a PL which is available for alot less today.[/QUOTE]
