<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 8388557, member: 37839"]Oh,I agree. The coin is a curiosity more than anything else. It is a near prooflike high grade common date Morgan that happens to have only one distinction. That is exclusivity, being the highest graded for its date, and population of 1. Would that be enough for me to want to buy it? Hell no—I tend to go for “highest grade for a good value with eye appeal.” I have posted many of my own 65, 66, and 67 Morgans that I paid 1/20th of what this thing is going to sell for. A perfect example is my MS 65 PL 1885cc that I had a GTG up, recently. It is as attractive as this coin, if not as high grade, and numerically exclusive. So, I posted this “guess the hammer” as a curiosity, rather than a numismatic definition of sanity. Bidder 1 and bidder 2 will probably drive the price of this thing crazy over the next 2 days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
