The December 1959 issue of The Numismatist ran an advertisement by Klondyke Coin Exchange (Irving Davidoff) offering the following Morgan silver dollars for sale in Choice Unc. grade. All throughout the decade of the 1950s little attention was paid to the Uncirculated 1884-S, which years later became considered as one of the rarer issues.

In the December 1959 issue of The Numismatist, Harry's (Harry Warner), Mill Valley, California, prefaced an advertisement for Uncirculated Morgan (and Peace) dollars with this notice:
S-Mint dollars are becoming scarce. These have been rising steadily in price for months. Now watch them rise rapidly as dealers run low or out! "Bargains" in coins are becoming very scarce, but you can still buy many low mintage beautiful brilliant Uncirculated silver dollars at near face value! Of 120 different silver dollars struck since 1878, 21 have a total mintage of less an one million! 44-Less than two million! 54- Less than three million!! Now for "cents" before they rise as high as eents!
Such words were a siren song to investors. Buy now before the price rise! As demand increased, and Treasury pay-outs declined, many of the issues that were common in dealers' stocks a few years earlier were becoming scarce by autumn 1959.
