Example, a roll of MS 1878-S Morgans was going for $5,000 and the singles in MS-63/4 condition were listed for $300 each in the booth I had the nerve to ask at, LOL. :) There was one fellow who was selling ancient Celtic/Roman (Broaches and Cloak Pins). Several pieces had been broken/snapped off with the other half missing. I tried to tell the vendor that this often was the result of an offering to a deceased loved one.
