If the prevailing opinion of people with money were to change to value rarity or historical connections more than grade, things might change. There was a time that collections were graded by how many coins they contained but this has been out of fashion for over a century. I doubt any of us now alive will see this change. The Domitian eagle is a very nice coin and worth that price to at least one buyer even if it is not to you or me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Money of any type is a matter of opinion relying on some level of agreement as to its value.
