    I see no prices that are out of line. The 1898-S morgan is just about at spot price, for instance.

    That said, buying coins from a written description is generally a fool's game. Most collectors are keenly interested in what the coins look like, and buying on price alone is generally a recipe for a poor collection, in my opinion and experience.

    There ARE pictures.

    Two pictures for each coin they are very good pictures of obverse and reverse.

    I think all of them look awesome. By the way, what does spot price mean, is that good or bad?

    spot price=melt value

    Spot price is the melt value of the coin; in other words it is what the silver (or other precious metal) would be worth.
