[QUOTE="illini420, post: 641591, member: 19423"]since the discussion is officially over, i guess this post won't matter much, but like any coin it's just simple supply and demand at work. There is a really low supply of very nice MPLs out there and the demand for them is high. So, the prices of those coins are also high. On the other hand, there's a bunch of ugly and/or lower grade MPLs out there and not many people want those, so of course the prices are much lower (and these are the prices that I see in many of the price guides). Now that your discussions are over, how about some more MPLs????? I've posted this one before: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/06911864_ebaysupergallery-1.jpg[/IMG] But here's my amateur photo attempts of the coin: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909pr65rbobvcolor.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909pr65rbrevcolor.jpg[/IMG] I think that my coin above is an example of one of the good MPLs and I paid a significant premium for it. On the other hand, here's an example that I used to own, a 1909 in a PCGS PR63RB OGH holder, that I would consider an average MPL and I paid an average price for it: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909matteproofobv.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1909matteproofrev.jpg[/IMG] Here's another I used to own that sort of falls in between but is probably closer to the average end of the scale and I accordingly paid an average price. 1914 PCGS PR63RB OGH: [IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1914matteproofobv.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm111/illini420/1914matteproofrev.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
