I just purchased this and 3 other Morgans at a coin auction. I was wondering how high would you have gone on this coin so I can see if I went to high.
Typically around $35/40 but as high as $50. Unless there were VAMs to consider, but the images are not clear enough to tell. It's a great coin. The face looks very clean, I wonder if it might be graded higher if you crack it and resubmit. That would double or triple the value if it made 65.
thanks for your input. i try and use good judgment wheni buy coins by doing reashearch in the red book and so forth. i never go above the price i find and thought i got a good deal on this one and a few others i bought. i gve $60 for it. 2008 red book lists it at $70 i never got the 2009 red book so it didnt help. i dont plan on selling the coin so by the time i do sell it i hope it willl increase in value to recoupe my cost.
That's okay - don't sweat it you got a good coin That's okay - don't sweat it you got a good coin. It takes years to learn how to buy and that's certainly not bad - keep the coin and keep learning, you did okay.
Well all in all I bought 8 Morgan dollars 1882-o $24.00, 1888-p $25.00, 1885-p $25.00, 1882o/s $29.00, 1886-p NGC ms 64 $60.00, 1900-o NGC ms 64 $60.00, 1904-o NGC ms 63 $40.00 1921 -p NGC ms 63 $33.00. I also picked up 10 rolls of NUC Lincoln cents 1961- 1984 for $11.00. 1939-D Jefferson Nickle UNC for $9.00. 1935A silver certificate Hawaii for $14.00 (defiantly got ripped off on that one)(never buy a bill that theye wont let you look at because it is papper. I lernt that lesson.) LOL Bill was torn half into. and I also picked up a 1923 silver certificate $25.00
I think you did very well on the buy. The Morgan looks extremely clean. No marks on the face. I would have went $60 on it. You might want to consider resubmitting. You may get 65 or even 66. But at 64 you still did well
