<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1564759, member: 41665&quot;]This topic fascinates me to no end. I&#039;ve been asking for charts here - aside from the site I found, no one offered others. I presume they do exist.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This chart goes back ~8 years: <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17130&amp;g=65" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17130&amp;g=65" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17130&amp;g=65</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a newsletter tidbit from 1998, &quot;1886-O in MS-64 rose from $4,500 last November to $6,200 this November. The MS-65 1927-S jumped from $4,600 to $5,750, while the gem 1925-S exploded from $7,200 to $10,000!&quot; <a href="http://www.nationalsilverdollarroundtable.org/?p=1448" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nationalsilverdollarroundtable.org/?p=1448" rel="nofollow">http://www.nationalsilverdollarroundtable.org/?p=1448</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That 1886 O MS64 peaked at $12k in late 2008, fell 18% but recovered somewhat with Helicopter Ben&#039;s printing. </p><p><a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17168&amp;g=64" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17168&amp;g=64" rel="nofollow">http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/NumismediaPrice-History.aspx?c=17168&amp;g=64</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The same cannot be said of the lower end of the market. I&#039;m curious about the particular wackiness of the Morgan Varietals market, which peaked in late 2007/8. That seemed to be fueled by some very slick advertorials - give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, like people just opening Madoff Investment statements from 2009, some duped VAMworld Rip van Winkles still imagine that average mintage Morgans <i>should </i>command $250k. Instead, look for numismatic premiums on most Morgan $1s to race towards oblivion ... Spot + a simpler premium, ~2x POS?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond the 2008 correction in most spec, I suppose the real shift was eBay and the Google Search paradigm, which we all embraced circa 1998-2000. Thereafter, in the last 15 years, self-serving dealers and coinflators could no longer hide <i>true prices </i>from the gullible public.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if your LCS or some coin guide still pretends that so-so Morgan is &quot;worth&quot; $200.-300. you trust your instincts and basic online research: ya it&#039;s probably NOT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
