<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2539946, member: 24314&quot;]Actually, that is not true.&nbsp; These coins have held their pre/discovery prices very well.&nbsp; From what I have heard, not that many were returned to the TPGS for compensation.&nbsp; ICG puts them in their &quot;Yellow Label&quot; educational slab and many Morgan dollar collectors still wish to have examples in their collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1970&#039;s when new counterfeits were discovered, word got out and the coins dropped off the market.&nbsp; The &quot;Micro O&quot; dollars were accepted as rare genuine coins for decades and were slabbed by all the TPGS.&nbsp; They were in dealers stocks and had been sold into private collections by Morgan dollar experts.&nbsp; To remove these counterfeits from the market would have been an economic disaster so they became &quot;acceptable&quot; to own.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since their discovery, many more dollars of different dates (that were bought /sold as genuine)&nbsp; have been discovered to be fakes from the same maker and time period.&nbsp; I own several.&nbsp; Unfortunately none that have been slabbed.&nbsp; The best place to find them is in junk lots of G-XF Morgans.&nbsp; The 1899-O seems to be the most common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
