<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 12979, member: 941&quot;]Another major factor which determines rarity is the survival rate of a particular coin in a specific grade. As an example, the 1884-S Morgan Dollar in common circulated grades is no more expensive that any of the common dates in the series. An MS 63 example though, is likely to set you back $25,000 or more assuming you can find one.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of the 1884-S Morgan, the lack of high quality surviving examples occurred as the direct result of commercial demand - the majority of the Morgans produced that year at San Fransisco went directly into commerce.&nbsp; Most of the rest were dolled out in 1926 and again during the 1930s, and also found there way into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The few high quality survivors probably came from a small number of bags released by the mint in 1950s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
