    You're dealing with a buyer who doesn't know what he or she is doing. You've got a live one on the hook.

    I believe the person is confused that this is a 1921 Peace dollar instead of the Morgan you show. In any case neither your Morgan or a peace in this condition is worth $ 300.00. If the person is a friend I would not accept the offer.

    That's one possibility.

    Was this an in-person offer, or on something like Craigslist? You may be getting set up. :eek:

    There is no way this coin is remotely worth $300, or even a tenth that.

    While it is tempting to echo the "grab the money in cash and run!" sentiment, this might boomerang on you when the buyer finds out what the coin is really worth. I would recommend offering them a much more realistic price (still leaving yourself room to profit some, of course). Tempting though it might be to take advantage of someone's ignorance, it would be best not to, for practical if not ethical reasons.

    Thank you what price would you suggest because I am clueless to the value of coins and I am not out to get over on anyone I'm just going to be selling a lot of coins and I thought it was something when he offered that so no I won't take that what do you suggest I do appreciate your comment thank you very much.

    I would be saying "take the money and run" at closer to $30. At $300, my conscience wouldn't let me do the deal.

    I would think, as mentioned, the buyer is confused thinking this is a high relief 1921 peace dollar. Not a regular 1921 Morgan.

    Don't let anyone get under your skin. Examples like yours are often found for around 20 bucks. Maybe a dollar or 2 more.

    your title .... "I was offered $ 300.00. Yes or no"
    thus the response about the coin itself and the amount.

    This sounds fairer. Give it to them at a tenth of their offer, and you'll come off looking honest, but you'll still be getting a bit more than the coin is worth.

    Seriously, I never thought that the buyer would go thru with the deal.

    He may just be scamming you.

    Be careful
