    I paid $145... that's $20 more than I wanted to pay, but something caught my eye.

    If it was $20 more than you wanted to pay, why did you buy it?

    It's a very nice coin, even if you paid more than you would have liked. The San Francisco ones may look nice but there is some kind of magic in the Carson City ones.

    It was like arguing with my wife.... I just had to win because I didn't want anyone else to.

    Nice but it doesn't really add premium until it gets into the higher grades.

    Yep. Top 100. After grading and attribution fees, I may be into it too much, though, which is why I wanted it for $125. Still, I don't regret it.

    That's a rare date I think you are making $.
    Can it straight grade? Seems to be some "stuff" on the reverse.
    VF-30?

    I haven't touched it, but under a loupe there aren't any problems. I was thinking VF25, but IDK, Morgan's aren't my series.

    Well there is wear, but there are strong details in full Liberty, her hair, and the eagles feathers. I think it is VF. IDK what that "stuff" is, in IN GOD WE TRUST,
    also seems to be in the 8. This is a rare date and people want it, I think you are making money on this. After grading fees and shipping you are under $200?
    It might make more money flipping it raw.

    I'm closer to 20 on it but you're not exactly under water at that price. :)
