LOL I like that comment, but that said it looks like a truely lovely coin (shame we dont have a drooling smilie LOL)

De Orc :kewl:

 

DCAM Morgans will do that to you. One minute you think you like them, the next minute your deeply in love. Too bad it's going for 300k. Oh well!!!

 

Wow.

Best morgan I have ever seen.

 

I like 1865 Half Dollar much better, in proof! AT US$ 8500 it only cost a few ladas.

1865 Half Dollar

 

I love looking at Adrian's coins! It's just so much fun!

 

Which one do you prefer?

or ​

 

Um, this may be a stupid question...but I thought all Morgan proofs were made at the Philadelphia mint. Where there some special one's made elsewhere or would this be an error or something?

 

PCGS has four proofs listed that are from non-Philly mints:

1879-O
1883-O
1893-CC
1921-S

I do not know the story behind them.

 

good lord thats a lot of money!!

 

Wow, that is a beauty, but I'm a simple man, I'll just have this 3 legger.

Man, there really are some awesome toned specimens, if you're into that.

 

Man that dollar rocks!

 

Really nice coin. No, make that REALLY nice coin!

I see that the seller ended the listing early. The insertion fee was only $4.80 but the final value fee... well, let's just say it wouldn't have been covered by the S&H.

While I was there, I looked at the other items the seller has up. There are some beautiful coins there, that look positively inexpensive by comparison.

I wondered how the seller does with completed transactions-- some nice coins there as well. A few "best offers" took some of these at a bit lower than the listed prices. It just seems to me that the eBay market would be a bit limited for items this pricey, not taking anything away from how good they appear to be, but I guess I'm wrong about that!

 

I'd better not show Thalia this one:

It's from 1900, one of "her" years for collecting (the other one is her birth year, 2000)...

"Daddy, do I have enough in my piggy bank for that?"
"Not exactly, dear."

 

lol, that is about as cheap as any Anaconda listing I've ever seen! He definately doesn't dabble in the cheap[er] stuff often.

 

This particular seller is well known and well respected, especially for his skill in acquiring the most beautifully toned coins around (and for sucessfully selling them are world record prices). The fees he pays to eBay are basically a marketing cost. The people with that kind of money to spend on coins know who Adrian is and they know how to find his wares (on eBay and in his internet store). The eBay listings have got to be some of the cheapest advertising he can get. Honestly, how many of us, now that we've seen his inventory will be able to forget about him? I know that as my tastes in coins have changed I have changed my buying habits and would consider buying from him. That is effective advertising, if you ask me.

 

I had a feeling that someone might have that opinion... thanks for sharing, C_T.

I just went back to his store and clicked on "lowest price first"; there actually were a couple of items lower than the 1900 Morgan I cited, but not many!

It is nice to run across listings with reasonably sized photos, good descriptions and a "no questions asked' return policy in a venue that is increasingly resembling the Wild Wild West (not the TV series either!).

My/our collecting budget would have to go up several orders of magnitude for me to consider anything he has available, but it's sure nice to look and admire!

 

Now those are what I call some nice coins - found his online store. WOW - I am glad window shopping is free.
