<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pairunoyd, post: 1464519, member: 17595&quot;]Camaro, I was referring to the 1880 S. Of course I looked it up to see how common it was and I knew that it&#039;d have to be in really good/rare condition to exceed my purchasing price. I also realize that you cant fully judge coins based on picture. Ive seen auctioneers post a pic of a coin and it look fantastic and then, to their credit, they post it from a slightly different angle or with different lighting and you wonder where the beauty went! haha</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, Ive looked at MANY pictures of Morgans and pictures from this seller and based upon all of the pictures Ive viewed, this particular 1880-S looked like the best Id seen (excluding slabbed coins and some toned ones). But, like i said, I know that it can be an illusion because of all the variables involved in pictures and I know that Im a kindergartener when it comes to fully knowing what Im looking at. But, it was only $65 and I thought it was worth at least that or very near that. But even if it&#039;s only a $40-$50 coin I think its worth the occasional risk.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you or anyone else reading this thinks that there&#039;s very little chance it exceeds $40-$$125 in value, assuming a knowledgeable buyer?</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the initial coin I posted, the 1880 O, that coin couldve looked like roadkill and I would&#039;ve paid the $14.50. I was hoping that along with the good price that it might also grade in in 60&#039;s. And you give me way too much credit when you say that I might be substituting poor strikes for wear. Is it possible that you&#039;re doing the opposite, that you&#039;re seeing wear where there&#039;s actually poor striking? Im sure youre not, but I can hold out hope, cant I?</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked the seller about the slabbed coin I posted, the one with the &#039;place&#039; above the S in States, and he STILL hasnt replied. Not a very promising sign for business ethic. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
