[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 8181130, member: 13307"]Sometimes shill bidding happens? You're right - it's too blurry to figure anything out, don't see any key dates or CC mints, and the price is way too high. IMO either someone who's seen the coins in hand knows something we can't see or the auctioneer (or consignor) is shill bidding the lot up prior to the auction (or maybe money laundering?) I see a 20 coin roll of common Morgan Dollars, maybe an avg of $30-35 a coin ($600-700.) Maybe I'm missing something? Of course, I've seen people at auctions pay over $70 for a $3 non-silver proof set, and seen them pay $90 for a roll of 70's-80's non-silver proof dimes...so anything is possible.[/QUOTE]
