How many MS-69's have been slabbed? The early modern commems typically don't grade as high as the recent ones. A MS-69 might be a pop 1 coin with none finer. A coin like that gets a silly money bid from registry collectors when it comes to auction and that bid gets reflected in the price guide.
Certainly a case of a coin only being worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 10k.....wishful thinking in my opinion. I would be curious what the population is though.
I never said they were in high demand, almost all sell for melt and I thought it was interesting that the price guide said that much for something that looks almost 100% alike when you get them from the mint
