    If anybody is so inclined, one of the most beautiful 1881s Morgans is up for auction at Great Collections. It has 8 hours left, and is at 2 grand. What do you think the hammer price will be?

    wow I don't know a guess on the price but she is a beauty.
    I do have my eye on a few Morgan's today there but she is out of my league haha.

    Did you own this one before?

    I will guess $2,500 plus fees.

    No, I never owned this one. It is from the Goldenboy collection. I am gonna guess $3200 plus the vig.

    Had it been PCGS, it would have been 5 grand. At that level, high rollers want PCGS.

    It's certainly possible. Some would like to see more green and a little less breaks in the toning (the area below "UNUM" could end up hurting the max potential value).

    It will be interesting to see what the final price is.

    It will go for at least 3K + fees, a little over half it would be if PCGS had slabbed it

    I am thinking about sniping.

    A lot! Certainly more than I could afford.

    It's fair...anyone can do it...but beware of another sniper...can get costly depending on your (and their) snipe bids. Happened to me...once...on a much smaller scale.

    It‘s certainly a great coin, but I‘d prefer a 66+ with toning on both sides… oh and 3K is a bit too much for a Morgan Dollar IMO :-D

    Not for that coin. It is gorgeous in person, and has a super pedigree. I have my limit how much I would pay.

    I’m in the the grand plus range, plus fees. You just don’t see them like this very often. I just bought a CSA note for over $3000 so that lets me out. Lol

    Interestingly enough there were no late bids and it ended at $2,052 ($2,308.50 with the fee).

    I decided not to. Not enough color for the price. I think it was a $1500 to $2000 coin.

    That price surprises me as I think it’s low given today’s market.

    I did not have that kind of cash but had some Great Collection success tonight. Hoping this 82S MS-64 PL in A green PCGS holder looks good in hand. Could not blow the pics up larger. Also won a 1901 o MS-64 that has nice clashing , hoping with some letter transfer.

    It looks nicer than a typical 64 (I could see it as a 65/65+). The PL is a bit more debatable as the standards were thought to be looser for PL and DMPL in that era. I think you did fine overall on the purchase and hopefully the mirrors are nice in-hand.

    Here is the picture, let's see if it comes out any better this way:
    Edit: yep this way you can click and enlarge the photo
