It was claimed in the video that the 1885 is the rarest date of Morgans from Carson City, and if that's not false advertising, I don't know what is. At least the people who bought these got the real deal, however everyone here knows they could have done a lot better elsewhere. I'm happy if these sales lead to more serious coin collectors, but the hype in this video was hard to take. Report this Post to the Staff

However, where I think they are misleading folks is the fact that a good portion of those '85s ended up in the GSA sale, when only 1 '89 was in there (ostensibly). So technically the '89, with it's 350,000 mintage, is 'more rare' (in GSA holder) than the '85 @ 238,000. Report this Post to the Staff
