<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1934670, member: 29751"]I also like high grade coins, but I don't like to pay insane money for them. I'm willing to pay up for a great coin, but I purchased the coin pictured below at nearly 1/8th of the $6K that the MS68 posted coin is supposedly worth(?). It has not been to CAC, and I really could not care less. To my eye it is properly graded, and will remain in my type set for many years to come.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/1879S_Morgan_Dollar_NGC_MS67plus_composite.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am mostly a type coin collector of USA material -- and a thematic collector of world material.
