I know you have spoken about them before, and I collected these since I loved them in the 80's and 90's, especially heavy in the 90's.

I know my avatar pic doesn't show it, but this RR has a very pretty tone to it in hand. I fall for beauty as well, I just disagree with a LOT of toning prices being asked nowadays, just like I disagreed with MS65 generic morgan prices asked in the late 80's, and many other instances. Sometimes I have been wrong of course, I still feel keys are dramatically overvalued today in US numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw, I would like to say publicly my views have nothing AT ALL with the person selling the coin on Ebay. Shane is a great guy, a member here, and has been great to ask questions of and try to understand this market. He is a smart man, knows his market and customers, and from what I hear a great dealer. My comments are only my opinion towards these coins in general. I also have similar comments about modern US, MS70's and other numismatic subjects. I mean no disrespect to ANYONE who likes coins I may not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Man, reading that list, sure makes me sounds like a grumpy old goat, huh?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
