[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2399969, member: 22331"]I appreciate your astute observations of a Gold coin that is seldom offered in auctions. A coin having a mintage 10% of that which was produced in original mintage of its Morgan counterpart. A coin that has enjoyed a published value ~one-third of the Morgan, for a coin relatively seldom seen/offered for sale. A coin which has doubled in value while the Morgan has increased ~one-third. This coin is virtually never offered in a TPG certified details condition, with no record of same Found in eBay archives, and one in Heritage. The irony is that there currently is a recent auction listing in Heritage auctions. That coin already has a premium gross amount bid in excess of double the melt value with a considerable amount of "live auction time" remaining. I expect the bidding by educated worldly buyers of this scarce coin will result in a final hammer price of 300-400% melt value. When I started searching for this coin, I couldn't afford the coin either, but knew that offerings would be infrequent, probably unavailable when funds might be available. I virtually mortgaged my all for the first coin. Hopefully I'm "still around" when you graduate, and may have serious interest. I like your positive attitude, and will provide constructive guidance for a comparable selection to meet your stated criteria. The coin is believed to be of your objective recognition, that I'll guarantee with a bonded repurchase plan if you PM. JMHO[/QUOTE]
