Well it seems that everyone is looking for an undergraded coin at this
point with the hope of making a score.Sad isnt it?Collecting has seemed

think of is take a good look at what you are selling.If the coins are in

As a buyer on ebay, for any valuable morgan you ask why that Morgan
isn't slabbed.

As for speculation, there has never been a time where coin collecting
didn't involve speculation, marketing, and .... fraud.
