The CC coins are desirable but as far as I can tell only few of the CC coins are hard to find even in mint state. That plus MS-63 is not really what I would consider a &quot;high end coin&quot; for that date - I would have reserved that for (in Morgans) a MS-65 or better.</p><p>The Morgan silver dollars are a very popular series to collect and there are millions of them around but most of them are not rare even in Mint State.</p><p>The Morgan dollars were never really used for commerce at all and there was really no &quot;good&quot; reason to coin them except for political interest and help absorbing the silver that was being mined. From what I have heard nobody walked around with them in their pockets.</p><p>Here is a small list of other coins that I believe would have out-paced your coin some of them 5-to-1 during the same time period.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. 12-S nickel in GD, VG, and Fine.</p><p>2. 16-D and 21-P Winged Liberty head Dime plus the over-dates.</p><p>3. 14-D &amp; 22 no &quot;D&quot; Lincoln in any grade.</p><p>4. 33-S and 38-D Walking Halves in collector grades.</p><p>5. Copper nickel Indian Head Cents in VF-35 to XF.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At our show there are tons of MS CC Morgans but not so many of these others to chose from</p><p>I really never worried about being able to find 09-S VDB or 55 DDO - they are at all shows but the 12-S Nickel in &quot;no problem VG there ain&#039;t!</p><p>Just my opinion of course and always subject to revision.</p><p>Ben Peters</p><p>Home of THE KNOXVILLE COIN SHOW[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
