    If you are selling back to a dealer you would get less... the would offer you $12-16 (melt price) for your Phillys, maybe $25-30 for the CC and the mint 1885. They would need to make money off those so your best bet is to sell privately through ebay or craigslist ect.

    Go to ebay and look up other 1878cc vf details have sold for in the past. I would think they are a bit under $75, closer to say $50.

    IMHO the 1878 CC is a VAM6 VF Details. Top 100 I-3 R-4 $100
    Photos make it too hard to verify the VAM 6 but look close on the obverse Cotton Bowls Right Side for obvious doubling. You can check it with Vamworld.com
    http://www.vamworld.com/1878-CC VAM-6 Personally this coin does not tweak my interest but someone may like it.

    Dealer would have to see this 1878 CC and if you were I my area it would be worth $50 as I would easily buy this for resale. :) Would not sell any for less than $20.

    What are you really wanting to do with them ? Are you just trying to get opinions from everyone here then sell them on eBay ? Do you want to hold on to them ? My opinion, don't sell on eBay, to me the buyers just aren't there right now. I tried to auction of an 1884-O Morgan, common. I did put a reserve on it, reasonable, and still did not get the price I wanted.

    If you were to sell on ebay you have to have two things minimum One a good Feedback number and two great pictures .. the ones you have here would not do anything for you on ebay. Ebay is not good for these coins.

    My friend who inherited the coins needs to liquidate the coins. I need to decide if I would like to make him an offer for my collection of give him an estimated price he can sell the to a dealer or on eBay dor(if he sells them on his own it will more than likely be Ebay).

    I’m just not sure if I’m interested in 3 cleaned coins. I do not have a 78cc in my collection.

    Realistic dealers coin show dealer should pay based upon coin in hand revue $25-30 for 85O, 78 8tf $30, the other two $20-25 .. hard part of these is the harshly cleaned and dealers would have to see these in hand to give fair estimate.

    I would offer the guy $80 for the cc and the o.... as for the other two maybe $16 a piece just because they are the varieties. It's a bit better than liquidating with a dealer and its a fair price for you.

    Somebody out there, under the sun might offer you 100-150 for the 78 CC? I'm a big fan of the 78 CC in general.

    Unfortunately, the others wouldn't attract much premium.

    That seems fair. I'm not thrilled about any of the 4 but if the price is fair and it helps him out I might consider buying them.

    My husband favorite coin are the Morgans. I never seen one until he showed them to me. I didn't know cleaning takes away value of an old coin. I guess they pay for the grim grit and germs lurking on the metal. WOW
