[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3665776, member: 73489"]For most of the higher end Morgans -- say, > $100 -- do you find that the coins are misrepresented (usually raw ones) or are TPG Morgans simply being priced very high ? If someone is looking to scam, it would seem to me that rather than try and sell lots of $25 Morgan's for $50, you try and sell TPG 65's/66's /67's where price information might be tough to come by....and overcharge. I see lots of stuff > 65 Graded where the jump above what are in the Reference Books is really big for 66's, 67's, and even the rare 68. Given the lower populations as you go higher, it pays to "wait" for the sucker or inexperienced buyer who "pays up" for rarity but overpays. Easier to get someone to overpay a ton for quality than to get someone to overpay less in absolute $$$ and have to get lots of people to do that to make the same $$$.
