What has been the highest auction price for a common date condition rarity?

Seems that there are a few MS69 Morgan Dollars that sold for near 6 figures.

Should have probably done the lookup first. Here is an 80-S Morgan in MS69PL that was a shipping fee short of 100k.

Anything higher?
Heritage also shows a 96-S in MS69 which brought $400,000.
Kind of on the fence as that is a common in low circulated grades but scarce in high AU and above.
There are many to be found...just search PCGS auction prices. One example, a 1945 Mercury dime sold for $96,000. A 1918-D Mercury dime sold for $182,000. A 1958 Franklin Half sold for $129,000. Many more out there.
There are a couple of common-date MS68 Peace dollars that would trade around $100k.
Way too much.
The 96-S Morgan is absolutely not a common date. It is one of the most surprisingly difficult ones to locate in any sort of nice condition.
If you can consider the 1958 Franklin a condition rarity and not toning derangement syndrome then that might be the most extreme. A white 67+ FBL would probably sell for 1/10th that final price, though.
It’d be interesting to compare the price relative to an MS63 if the same date/MM and see which is the highest multiple.
agreed

TONING DERANGEMENT SYNDROME !!!
I'll not soon forget when a 1944 Philadelphia Walking liberty half in PCGS MS 68 sold for $109,250 in August of 2010.

I was there. I bid on that coin. I was outbid by $81k. I was sitting with several dealer friends. We thought they must of been on the wrong lot. The audible responses were like watching a Bruce Lee movie at a mid night showing

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Interesting topic, thanks for sharing !!!
I believe a common date high grade Franklin half sold for crazy ( six figure) money recently. Can’t remember the details.
There will always be leaders, but that does not mean that there will always be followers................
