[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1410972, member: 24633"]Snake, One thing is certain! There is no one, and I mean [B]no one(!)[/B], who can predict where the market will be one, two or three or more decades from now. At 228,000, the 85-CC has the lowest, total mintage of all of the Carson City Morgans, but it's value has been held back because there are so many of them available in Gem grades due to the fact that most never got into circulation.

While I have the greatest amount of respect for Paul's knowledge, I would be somewhat reluctant to base my choice for future value on toning or any CAC attribute that a certified coin may have.
