    A wonderful deal, buy a "FREE MORGAN DOLLAR w/ 2016 Red Book Price Guide, 69th Edition, Spiral"

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-MORGAN-DOLLAR-w-2016-Red-Book-Price-Guide-69th-Edition-Spiral-/281808245531?hash=item419d14931b:g:JyIAAOSwMmBV22~C&nma=true&si=IcE%2FL3GEvS%2BrDZWRuV2speYUsGM%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557


    Great deal?

    Free Morgan $?


    Whitman link: https://www.whitman.com/store/Inven...Book-of-United-States-Coins-Spiral+0794843042

    yeah right, but at $50, the book normally sells for $14.95, direct from Whitman, do the "free" Morgan costs: $35.05.

    Yikes. Morgan is a cull. They don't even say what you're going to get. Likely all the high mintage dates/mm in cull condition.

    But, but...


    They are free!

    I guess I should buy a few copies to get the free books?

    I like that Morgan, but not $35 worth of like.

    Do you have a 2015 book? I don't think much changes from year to year. I'd spend the money buying books in a series you enjoy. You mentioned commems on another thread. I posted a link to a good commem book you might want to buy. I own it and use it all the time.

    I saw that too. It never ceases to amaze me how many people in the world like taking advantage of the uninformed. This is more in response to the actual original auction, not the fact it was ended.
