<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 2128246, member: 13650&quot;]Lets look at an example.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s a Battlecreek MS-64* I was eyeing all week.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-1-Morgan-Dollar-Battle-Creek-Collection-NGC-MS64-Star-Rainbow-Toned-/151614332072?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;nma=true&amp;si=YH%252Bc%252Fv0Xq1M19exdh9x0QNKYlzg%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-1-Morgan-Dollar-Battle-Creek-Collection-NGC-MS64-Star-Rainbow-Toned-/151614332072?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;nma=true&amp;si=YH%252Bc%252Fv0Xq1M19exdh9x0QNKYlzg%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1887-1-Morgan-Dollar-Battle-Creek-Collection-NGC-MS64-Star-Rainbow-Toned-/151614332072?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557&amp;nma=true&amp;si=YH%2Bc%2Fv0Xq1M19exdh9x0QNKYlzg%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#039;t seen many that looked like this.&nbsp; This one really grabbed me.&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller wants $695.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it was listed for $100, I would&#039;ve never had a chance to see it.&nbsp; Would&#039;ve been gone.&nbsp; $200, gone.&nbsp; $300, gone.&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller knows he has something special.&nbsp;&nbsp; 13.5% of this hoard received NGC star designation which is an extremely high amount.&nbsp; And most of them, WITHIN that percentage, WITHIN this specific hoard, are nowhere near that nice.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Even though most of them are impressive, there are standouts like this one.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The seller put a high price on it and it didn&#039;t sell.&nbsp; Apparently, it&#039;s the higher price range for this one because I&#039;m sure many people saw it and wanted it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; For me personally, my comfort zone is the 2 to $300 range on these.&nbsp;&nbsp; I might reach and go 4 on that but that&#039;s about it for me.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t do it often.&nbsp; I just collect them here and there.&nbsp; &nbsp; Somebody else would pay more for this and that&#039;s fine.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a large pool of people that would give 2 to $300 for that and a smaller pool that would pay closer to what the seller is asking.&nbsp; &nbsp; It doesn&#039;t mean the seller&#039;s asking price is out of line.&nbsp;&nbsp; In time, it will sell.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m not upset that some will pay more for that than I will.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I just wanted to give an example and share what my thought process was on a real life example.&nbsp;&nbsp; Right or wrong.&nbsp; I would say that one easily falls within the 1% that are decent, highly desirable examples on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
