<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 1052541, member: 16994"]I will echo others with my experiences. I have to agree that if genuine this coin will bring less then a no problem example aside from the very few collectors who may be doing some sort of super niche set of errors. I have handled lots of errors on key and semi key coins over the years and the general consensus by the mainstream collecting community is "I'd rather have a no problem example." This is going to be the biggest market simply because this encompasses the most collectors with the means to buy such a coin. Almost every non error collector will consider this a problem coin simply because they do not collect errors. As mentioned earlier error collectors will not want this piece because the price tag is prohibitive compared to comparable errors. To be honest as far as partial collar Morgans go this coin is average in the WOW factor for partial collar Morgans. No significant spreading of the planchet. That leaves you with the specialist. The collector who is collecting this special set of error Morgan dollars and needs the key date of the series with an error on it. There are small handful of collectors that would attempt such a set and even less who will complete it. This means your market for selling this coin at ANY premium lies in a small handful of collectors... who may or may not be of the means to buy this coin. It's the catch 22 of errors on key date coins. I have seen it dozens of times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
