Was looking up the price of a 1898 IHC today. Usually the jump from 65R to 66R is pretty reasonable (2-4X) even if incorrect. Look at this line:
41 1898 RD - - - - 46 105 196 365 3000 16500
Price jumps from 365 in 65R (crazily low) to 3000 in 66R (way too high) to $16,500 in 67R (who knows if that's high or low). The pop. in 66R is 40, a higher pop. than some of the later date IHC's with a guide price of $1650!
What gives??

Hmmmm....why would I want to upgrade my 67RD 83DDR cent to MS-68RD? It would cost me $50 not including the slabbing fees and the postage!!!
MS66 $2500
I will pay double. Is any one for sale here?

1976-P Ike dollar (type 1)
MS66 $1175
Help me to find one at this price.
I would be amazed to see a real MS-68RD. It cannot possibly exist. The coin was so poorly struck on the reverse it is nearly impossible to imagine one really existing.
NGC killed their reputation when they mass graded those coins.
