Different Serial Number. The second one must have been the losers from the first one and they also must have big pockets to not care about real value.

OK, here's what I know. The 26-S Oregon in the FUN show auction is a real knock-out. When I viewed the coin I felt that without a doubt it would find itself in a MS68 holder some day, if it hasn't already. The coin is much more attractive in hand than the image suggests. And when it comes to prices timing can be everything. This auction followed the ANR Prescott auction earlier in the week where toned commems were bringing moon money. Many of the high end colored commems in the Heritage auction followed suit.

And the one that sold in Dallas in December most likely has no shot at upgrade, and may have been consigned to the wrong auction. My memory is fading, but I believe the Dallas auction was pretty much all about gold (Morse Collection).
