The article in the link below was posted as an ad on the MSN news website. Unfortunately, some folks will believe that what they posted applies to all Morgans, IHCs and wheaties. Could result in a bonanza for pawn and coin shops. Their “experts” have a picture of an IHC as an example of a wheatie.

Too bad my inflatable doll collection is worthless. Everyone seems to want everything in mint state these days.
Wow! I do agree some things have had their "time in the sun" as a collectable and their sun has certainly faded away. I do know someone that has a large collection of Beanie Babies in their attic. He still thinks someday they will be popular again. The majority of the items discussed I know what they are, but really know next to nothing about values today. The writer of the article appears to know nothing about coins. He makes it sound like virtually all Morgan Dollars are worth only their silver value. I wonder if this writer knows what a Sheldon Scale is. IHCs and Wheaties are virtually worthless. I could not believe what I was reading about coins, so generalized in nature.
The writer is a nobody who didn’t even post his name. All of the collections the writer mentioned have value to the people that collect them. Morgans worth only spot? Tell that to any Carson City afficianado. And calling an Indian Head a wheat ear is just about the biggest stinker a writer does. It just underscores that the writer is a buffoon who doesn’t know what he is talking about…imo…Spark
I'm not even sure the writer is a human. These days, I've been seeing AI-generated posts on places like Quora, which sound pretty convincing, but which often include rather glaring errors. In fact, the bots often get 80-90% of the facts right, but then blow it badly on others. A lot of these clickbait or ad-related articles are written by AI robots. This article might have been written by a human, but it's got the "feel" of one of those AI-generated pieces. It's a little bit better than some of the articles I've read that claim you can find a Bicentennial quarter that's worth eight million dollars- but not by much. This is the first time I've seen a vague article that undervalued certain coins.
I can't believe my grandkids & I ate about $75K worth of nuggets last week...talk about a value meal...
