  How about the 1861 half in last nights B&M sale at $19,000 for a PCGS PF64? Very pretty and eye appealing, but the only
  explanation for 5X to 10X increase in price over other 64's is that is was a shot 67 coin....or the world's finest PF66 (in a 64 holder).
  A killer 65 which is what one would expect could be a $10,000 coin (2X premium). Anyone get a look at this coin?
  
  I don't think monster color premiums have come to seated coinage yet like Morgans. But it would be interesting if it were true.

  I think that gold toning goes all the way through the coin.

  There is no way a couple of 1880-S Morgan dollars in those grades could be worth anywhere close that amount. The 1927-D Double Eagle on the other hand could very well be worth that amount. Clearly a mix up in the auction.
