[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2086941, member: 22331"]I believe you're comparing "apples to oranges" in trying to compare St. Gaudens to CC Morgans. Since you've selected the St. Gaudens as your basis for evaluation, look for similar disparities in the 1907HR, 1908S, 1909/8, 1909D, 1913S, and many more. Decades ago when I thought I'd acquire a "mint state" 1889CC Morgan, I looked at the relative sales values of the 12x lower mintage $20 Gold for the same mint/year, and found that value pricing was at least half for the $20, relative to the Morgan. It took more than a decade to locate my avatar coin, but its cost was still half of a comparable Morgan. As Doug stated, I believe you'll find these pricing disparities amongst many desirable commodities/coins. Try locating a "mint state" early model Corvette. JMHO[/QUOTE]
