I have two to three hundred dollars to spend what would you recommend I buy I don't have any CC in my coin collection I love morgans and older dimes but would be open to another coin or coins common dates are OK with me.
you should be able to pick a couple of cc morgans in the gsa holders for that amount and still have a little left.
Do you want an uncirculated CC morgan dollar or a circulated version? If you like them UNC go with an 82 or 83 cc, for that price you could get one that's raw, or in a GSA holder. If you like a circulated CC, I'd recommend an 1879 cc in VF 20 or so, you should be able to get a nice one for that price. It's a semi key date, so it should hold its value. I personally like circulated morgans, especially CCs, makes me think of the "old west" and wonder who might have held that coin at one time.
You could get a nice 82CC, 83CC or 84CC in MS64 for that money and have some left over or you could maybe spend just a little more and get an 1878CC (first year of issue) in MS63. I like the 1878CC design because it was only produced using the 78 Reverse (PAF) with 7 tailfeathers. Chris
That's about what I paid for my 82CC, 83CC and 84CC in GSA holders certified by NGC. A nice little piece of history and they look great on your bedroom dresser.
You might have to stretch things a bit, but you could always go for a low grade 1890 Half Eagle. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1139&Lot_No=9772
Yep, but he can still keep it in his price range for sure! http://cgi.ebay.com/1878-CC-Morgan-...S_Individual&hash=item1e5c1056a1#ht_500wt_671 http://cgi.ebay.com/1878-CC-MS63-IC..._Individual&hash=item35a9af9f13#ht_2149wt_654 http://cgi.ebay.com/1878-CC-PCGS-MS...S_Individual&hash=item3a5b1edccf#ht_500wt_896 http://cgi.ebay.com/1878-CC-Morgan-...S_Individual&hash=item1c12b0cd1d#ht_500wt_896 If you are a little patient, Ice, you will find some good ones out there at good prices.
You are right, I bought my first one for 175, my second one for 160, that comes to more than 300. For some reason it came out in my mind as about 250... Getting older requires some adjustment, I NEVER used to have to use a calculator, I started to use one a year or so ago in trigging out true lengths of certain objects, Getting older is not fun, but it sure beats the alternative.
After reading this thread I didn't realize I could get a GSA in that price range. I might pick up a GSA with all the paper work and then use the rest to maybe pick up a CC dime. If anyone has one to sell send me a PM I would rather trust you than take my chance on e-bay or if you know a reliable seller on e-bay PM me. Thanks Tim
