It went for 80$ on T.T. in '06........... not sure if there is a set price in 67 for such things -

but I would sure think more then 150$.........

Actually, this date and type is not as rare as you might think in a high grade. Now, back up into the 1920s and try to get some one peso coins graded 67

bingo. while not a dime-a-dozen in MS67, I have two or three that i'm certain would easily MS67 from this year, and maybe MS68. I frankly can't see much of a premium for them in the ga-ga grades, there are far too many of them out there in private hands that don't see the need to pay 20 bucks to have them slabbed.
