<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 2264012, member: 37839"]The statements are NOT at all contradictory---dealers and collectors have gone over the GSA horde extensively. You are not the only one to attempt to "cherry pick" a good one, and if you think so, you're not being accurate. Average collectors might not know a DMPL, but for sure, dealers do, and most of those that are out there have been grabbed up. If you're really that determined not to listen to experience, and know that the odds of finding such a coin, and paying 63 or 64 money for it are dim, then go right ahead. Just trying to give you the voice of someone who has seen literally thousands in all grades, and know that if you truly want a DMPL cc dollar---expect to pay for it. If the seller didn't artificially enhance the coin (and I DO believe that he did), it certainly doesn't look anything like the original pictures. Okay, let's give the seller the benefit of the doubt--he didn't enhance the pictures, and it is the same coin. Then, they were poor pictures that did not represent the coin accurately. eBay really is NOT a good source for buying coins like that, if you don't have the experience that you say you lack. As regards them going 30% over price guide--that is a warning sign right there. Price guide is fiction to begin with--most collectors work from greysheet prices. Not being in the least cynical, just relating the fact that Morgans are a difficult market, and finding bargains are few and far between. It is the same with OGH coins--everybody thinks they're under graded and wants to buy them and submit for a higher grade. Been there/ done that--submitted 20 of them once and only got ONE upgrade. Same goes for GSA Morgans and finding DMPLS in a haystack. Don't believe me? That is just fine, but I think you're a nice guy who is taken in by the allure of bargains on eBay, and that isn't a great source of bargains. The realities are--you received a nice coin. I said from the beginning that I believe it is a 65, and that you may we'll get an upgrade from NGC. However, if you wish to return it, work out a fair and equitable settlement with the seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
