but may affect their collecting interests.

I'll start with a couple of ideas.

How many of us have seen a full $1,000 bag of Morgans? I'll bet less than one percent of
collectors have.

or, how many of collectors have seen the sniffer???? I'll bet less than one percent of us have.

your turn now

    I've seen the Sniffer, but not a $1,000 bag of Morgans.

    I'll bet no more than 1% of collectors have seen the Brasher doubloon with EB punch on the breast, or any of the 1933 St. Gaudens $20. I won't even bring up any of the super-rare Morgan VAMs.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I think it was Somewhere in the late 1950's or early '60's (I was in High School) I saw an ad for unopened bags of 1888 Morgans the Mint was selling for $1,040 plus maybe $10 shipping and talked my father into buying one. About a third of the dollars in the center of the bag were sharp looking and not may hits so I sold them to a dealer for $1,000, paid my father, spent the rest and that was that.

    But the sight and the feel of 1,000 brilliant silver dollars got me interested in dollar coins, even if not fully realized until 7 years ago when I decided to pursue SBA's and Ikes.
    Modern dollars are like children - before you know it they'll be all grown up.....

    I imagine there's lot's of things coin collecting oriented that 99% of collectors have not seen.

    While 1,000 bags of Dollars (Morgan, Peace, and IKE) is high up there, I just don;t know that the typical collector would have the resources to purchase one. But, come to think of it, just the sight of the bag might be enough for them to adjust their collecting priorites in order to afford one.

    I know I did.
