Message:: [QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2323916, member: 1892"]Maybe a little bit of juice there, but I gotta re-emphasize the ridiculous Populations we're talking about. There are 150,000 of these in MS64 slabs in addition to the 50k MS65's I mentioned above and it's not like MS66 is enough value added to suggest cracking; that's still only a $250-ish coin and NGC added 14 more in the last couple months. If it's any indication, there are only 5 other Morgan issues with greater numbers of recorded transactions at PCGS' auction archive.... That said, a brief search didn't turn up any other 64's with both Star and Plus. It's a selling point, for an issue with few selling points. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> As an aside, underlying this is the reason for my "Free the cartwheels" title. Why, exactly, do 150,000 1885-O Morgans need to be in slabs? Plainly they ain't uncommon, and you're not hurting anything by cracking the one you have and holding history in your hand. It's not difficult to handle a nice Morgan safely outside the slab, and it's high time more collectors had the feeling. Take them back from the TPG's.[/QUOTE]
