After looking at the price on ebay, I realized that buying a coin PR69 will cost about $ 10, PR70 30-40 $. Unfortunately, prices on the Russian market are much much higher and not all coins from the series can be bought (I'm talking about those that are priced by TPG). Buying coins at exorbitant prices is not my option, I have somewhere to spend money. I think I'll stop looking for the cheapest no graded coins for now.

Interestingly, the coins grade at MS67 can cost from $ 300 and above.

They way proof coins are made and handled, PR69 is expected, PR70 is a not uncommon bonus. However, these business strikes are not given anywhere near the same care, so they are going to grade lower.

After looking at PCGS population reports, I can believe sellers are asking that much for MS67...

I believe that, but I would not pay that much for one.

Nor would I, even if I were collecting business strike Innovation Dollars, which I am not. Like most of my baby dollars, proofs only.

I bought the Telephone coin recently in an Unc. Set ( Maryland and 3 others ) , fantastic looking design.

The bank up the street seems to get some really nice dollar coins in rolls. I find some from 2000 that are brand new , not 1 scratch or ding under magnification. I have found a few Innovation dollars in the same condition ( I found 1 yesterday that was on the end and had the roll damage but perfect otherwise ).

The telephone Massachusetts 2020 innovation dollar was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Emily Damstra as well as she created the Maya Angelou and Anna May Wong reverses on the quarters, the new american silver eagle 2021 reverse and others. This list is a bit more updated than the one here on coincommunity. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/artist...mily-damstra

Again for designs you can just go with the proofs (and even reverse proofs if you like those) without breaking the bank. Its only those uncirculated versions that are going to vary widely based on whether your attempting to get pre graded top or high grades like the MS67 you are discussing, buy rolls or such and attempt to find nice examples yourself which may be hard and not cheap if most are poor quality having to go through more than usual, or just being happy with a typical example that may have some dings but likely wont greatly increase in value over time in which case I wonder why lower grade ones are bought as the proofs are available in that case. Maybe they just want an example to collect of every type but dont want to spend money it takes for a nice example since they can be harder to find in this specific case due to the varying quality.
