In the November 1964 issue of The Numismatist, Mississippi Numismatic Exchange, Inc. (Daniel T. Anderson and John W. Grayson), Jackson, Missis-sippi, offered the following Uncirculated Morgan dollars for sale singly and in rolls of 20 pieces. Around this time, the firm advertised that it had the largest sales volume of any rare coin dealer in America.
A relatively new way of doing business was by Teletype connection to other dealers, who belonged to one or more of several networks. Even the prestigious Professional Numismatists Guild had its own Teletype network at one time. The Coin Dealer News-letter, which made its debut as a weekly wholesale price guide in 1963, was rapidly becoming the main source for determining silver dollar prices in a rapidly changing market.
