I saw this CC Morgan Dollar on the Coin Vault lastnight. And this morning I find one on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39465&item=3944439765&rd=1
1884-CC Morgan dollars were found by the bags full, literally, in the 60's. It is one of the easiest to find in uncirculated condition and I'm sure you can find one better than the one pictured (for a couple hundred dollars). BTW, what were they going for on TV?
being housed in a GSA holder helps a bit, but these coins sell near 270 for a true MS-64 Just for an example, what was the CoinVault price?
CoinVault sells GSA Carson City UNC dollars for $439.95. They state it can be 1882, 1883, or 1884. You can get the three pack for $1199.95. I've bought from them twice (Binion dollars and a 10 roll of AU Morgans). I should have sent the Binion dollars back. They were so stained and covered with foreign material, I could barely read the date. I got lucky with the half roll and found two rare VAMs.
I have seen the 10 coin dollar sets sell for what other dealers sell full rolls for. TV is BAD. No exceptions. While an occasional variety may get overlooked by their staff, it isn't worth the money lost on the other coins.
I don't want to get off the topic of the 1884-CC, but I have to agree with CoinVault prices. I paid $259 for the half roll. I manage to sell two of the coins for more than this total, but it was a rare and very lucky event. Not sure what to do with the Binion coins. One looks like it has a fungus growing all over it... and it's in an NGC slab. What about Coin Country? They are on twice a week and allow you to bid. I've only made a few purchases and "most" seemed fair. I even picked up 10 1oz. .9999 silver bars for $60 a month ago.
Let me say this again. TV is BAD. Any NGC graded coin can be resubmitted if the coin does not look as if it matches the grade or is getting corroded. However, if you are wrong, you will be charged normal fees. The Binion collection while very large, was far from the best. Most of the price paid for these coins are based on the story behind his death.
If you want another example, Coin Country has them for $399 each or $1099 for the three pack. However, I've noticed they usually take bids during their show for 20% lower than the asking price. If you can find a way to buy them from Coin Country and return to Coin Vault, you could make over $100 per coin. Just kidding!
Just so everyone knows. Buyers for CoinVault television shop all the major coin shows, and they pay strong dealer BID prices. So figure up the mark up.
The strongest buyers out there at this time are paying near $200 for common date GSA dollars. If coin vault is selling them for over $400 they should be ashamed...but I bet they sleep well at night or they wouldn't be in that business to begin with. And yes I know that the $200 range may seem high compared to the greysheet advertised "buys", but I know some people that know some people Nick
