[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2072478, member: 73489"][B][COLOR=#0000ff]Not sure that you are.[/COLOR][/B] (1) 1928 is considered a common. (2) Akers' book has the pricing for MS-65 and MS-67 similar to 1924 and 1927. The upper range for the 1928 is a bit higher but unless you are searching for an MS-67 I am not sure that would translate into a premium relative to 1924's/27's. (3) Heritage represents 'savvy' buyers and it could be that even a common is attracting folks paying up for a common coin in good grade. (4) I see 1928's on Ebay going for low-1800's a few weeks/months ago: [url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40%7CR40&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_nkw=1928+saint+ms-65&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc[/url] 1927's catching bids about $50 - $100 less, but also some matching or exceeding the 1928's: [url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1928+saint+ms-65&_sop=15&LH_Complete=1&_from=R40%7CR40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X1927+saint+ms-65&_nkw=1927+saint+ms-65&_sacat=0[/url] 1924's about $150 less than the 1928's: [url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1927+saint+ms-65&_sop=15&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40&LH_Complete=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X1924+saint+ms-65&_nkw=1924+saint+ms-65&_sacat=0[/url] I think it might just be that you have more novices getting into 1924's and 1927's (coincidentally the 2 coins I have :D ) and there's more of them for sale on average. Along with the 1908 No Motto, those are 3 very common commons. The 1928 is not rare but just not part of the 'common glut' that you see most dealers talk about with '24's and '27's. To my eyes, the 1928 sells within the range -- but at the upper end -- of some of her common sisters. :happy:[/QUOTE]
