Alleged "Monster Rainbow" Morgans can bring 2-10 times Greysheet value, depending on the intensity of the tone. So, it is a vast and diverse market.

Right now, nice coins are still commanding good values---the extremely common dates are exactly that, and are not going to command big money no matter what the market is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
