<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Danr, post: 746169, member: 3715&quot;]&quot;</p><p>One date, the 1903-O, was considered to be a major rarity and if one was lucky enough to ever have an opportunity to buy one, he could expect to pay a whooping $1500 for a mint state example! Most major coin dealers of the day had never even seen a mint state example of this date much less had the opportunity to own or handle one.</p><p><br /></p><p>In November of 1962, the U.S. rare coin market was rocked by almost unbelievable news. Several dates previously considered exceedingly rare were discovered in bag quantities during the annual pre-Christmas release by the Treasury. Among those dates was the much-desired 1903-O! Obviously, after the release of this key date in bag quantities, its lofty price adjusted quickly to the new market realities. However, the die was cast. </p><p>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinresource.com/articles/gsa.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
