<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1561944, member: 41665&quot;]Why? That email seems polite, if cursory. Does HA get tons of requests for &quot;price ranges&quot; that can be used to prop or promote valuation of so-called &#039;rare Morgans&#039; ? Or should that boilerplate be read as a blunt &quot;Not interested - I can&#039;t be bothered&quot; ? And why should he be... are you actually a &quot;customer&quot; rather than just a selfish inquirer (one of dozens cluttering his mailbox every day)? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d suggest you thank him for his time, and his professional courtesy in replying (even if you&#039;re not happy with the results.) </p><p><br /></p><p>You might also apologize for <i>rudely </i>posting his private correspondence online. What ever happened to etiquette??? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coin, you presumably found the link:</p><p><a href="http://www.vamworld.com/1890-P+VAM-15A" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.vamworld.com/1890-P+VAM-15A" rel="nofollow">http://www.vamworld.com/1890-P+VAM-15A</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That guy indicates it&#039;s certified by NGC: &quot;NGC-MS62&quot;.

To my untrained eye, today&#039;s prices look <i>radically depreciated </i>from an ethereal peak in 2007/2008 - like a &#039;Coin Bubble&#039; popped. So how much farther should median numismatic values sink, according to long term price-charts and by reasonable approximation of price experts?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Thank you for helping my research, in advance!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
