<p>[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2359848, member: 73489"]True...it's just that I would expect this more at eBay where you have the masses participating rather than at HA which you go to pretty much because you are a coin expert and/or enthusiast. But as George Jefferson once said to Mr. Whittendale: <b><i>I could be wrong !</i></b><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I just thought that if the price for that 1879-S CAC MS-67 were stable throughout the last year (I haven't checked CDN monthly but I will bet that was pretty much the case for that coin and most Morgans) then I would think that on HA you'd NOT see the price vary that much month-to-month. It's not a rare coin so it's not like in May or September someone sees it available and they think "<i>Hey, I better bid even if it's way above market, I may go months or years without seeing another one</i>."</p><p><br /></p><p>Again...throw out the one you say was an MS-68 and assuming $800 (what I paid) is the market.... to see so many coins selling for 50% or more over that price was very surprising to me. At a quick glance, I did NOT see that same phenomenon with 1924 or 1927 Saints (albeit there are less variations here and there are more fo them available).</p><p><br /></p><p>But as you said, SuperDave, maybe the eagle-eyed Morgan buyes are seeing differences in each coin that is not in the description or the grade(s) that accounts for the higher bidding. Clearly, I am not good enough to see that on my own. I just seem to be WAY OFF on guestimates for Morgans after a year or so of research compared to my learning curve for $20 Saints at the same time.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #0080ff">Anyway, I'm definitely learning alot so keep chiming in, picking apart my comments, whatever.</span></b> Only way I will learn !<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
