...and the advertisement states "Morgan Proof Dollars 1878-1895." Of course, the 1895 caught my eye, so I called the auctioneer a few days back....
It's hard to tell from the picture, but I don't see any wear. It does look like the coin might have been cleaned due to lack of luster and some...
Looking at Ebay there are tons of repro Morgan proofs (sometimes called "tribute" coins). I haven't seen actual Morgan proofs up close, so I was...
Well, I don't have it in hand yet, so I don't want to jinx myself, but I paid $109 with shipping. No matter what, I have really been into...
Well, alot of good guesses. Some of you got it right on. I don't yet have the coin in hand and the pics were from the seller's ebay listing, but...
The Hawaii notes have been pretty hot on ebay lately. The value of the note will depend heavily on the condition. Does the not look very well...
