It looks like Guilford Coin started listing the old holder coins as buy it nows then realized they could make more with auctioning them.
They sold some generation 2 fatty NGC Morgan dollars, I had no idea they were worth so much! An 1884-O in MS63 sold for $880! An 1881 and a 1921 in MS63 also sold near $900!

Sounds about right, add a CAC bean and those numbers would be a few hundreds more. Add a gold bean and add a thousand more.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I'm not seeing more than a cac green sticker on these coins and you can be sure they paid no more than Greysheet or behind it for these.
Thoe are some nice white label coins.
He sold an anacs 3-digit cert soapbox... wish I had seen that one!

The 1881 is actually a different holder, the logo is heat pressed on the inside. The other two are pressed on the outside.

Many see these coins as upgrade opportunity or toner specialists. Consequently expect aggressive bidding.
I know that shop, it's where I bought my first Cherrypicker's Guide in the early 1990s. I had no idea they were still in business. Looks like some of those old holders have been in the store since the last time I visited.

The Downey brothers sold it when they won the lottery and moved to Florida. The current shop is more of a buy it store and some high end stuff gets sold to wealthy collectors out of the shop. They have a lottery section as well, scratch offs, etc..
They are both gen 2 holders, the two with the logo on the outside is Gen 2 the one with the logo inside is Gen 2.1.

Yes, exactly

For the record, those are much later than you think. They came AFTER the end of the XX#### certs. ANACS converted them to numeric for their database and started by filling out the "missing" values (0, 7, 15, 21, 22, and 25)
PrefixChars,PrefixValue
CD,10000
EX,20000
JK,30000
KP,40000
LO,50000
LP,60000
MJ,80000
NJ,90000
PG,100000
PK,110000
RD,120000
RE,130000
SC,140000
SX,160000
TR,170000
TS,180000
WD,190000
WE,200000
WF,230000
WR,240000
XA,260000
ZD,270000
Thus 75, 125, etc. come after the last Amos letter combination (AMOS finished out EX and RE and then used NJ, PG, PK, SC, SX, WE, and ZD) or between 70,000 and 80,000 coins after the sale.

Amazing price for a no mint mark 1881 Morgan.
The coin had nothing to do with the sale price.
