   Maybe 11,000.00, but 11.5K?! That's insane.

   Buy what makes you happy... However, I would expect some change on this one. I believe the 1879-s rev of 78 was already identified by both NGC and PCGS at the time this one was submitted. If it was a 78 rev, I suspect it would have brought more... as in substantially more.

   I’m not knowledgeable on Morgan varieties…….just trying to figure out why this coin went for $11,000+. Could this be a reverse of 1878? Other than that I don’t see a reason for such a high premium, even with a gold CAC.

   $11,590 - typo?

   No, it's a reverse of 79 with the angled tail feather. There was someone whose name escapes me who used to collect the reverse of 78 variety. it was referred to as his coin.

    I'm going to assume these both look fantastic in hand, and the pictures do them no justice or these prices are totally meshuga! p.s. ye, the consignors must be thrilled.
