Was just browsing some auction archives. Was the Eliasberg 1889-cc Morgan a huge bargain in Jan 09?

That seems surprisingly low, especially with all the talk of high prices today. Or is/was that the proper market? Didn't the Vermuele 1893-s sell for over a million around the same time?

    That 1889-CC might be a great coin, but that picture of it sure doesn't float my boat.

That one has a bit too much tarnish for my taste, but then again I'll probably never put half a million bucks into one coin so my opinion does not really count.
