[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3521468, member: 24633"]I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, but..... Apparently, we have some people, here, who wouldn't give it a second thought of taking a few thousand dollars in cash that just happened to be visibly laying in a car that was left unlocked. Welcome to the neighborhood [USER=103575]@NickL[/USER] ! Unfortunately, your 1889 Morgan was produced by the Philadelphia Mint (no mintmark), and there were 21,726,000 of them struck. The really valuable specimen comes from the Carson City Mint (CC mintmark below the ribbon), and there were only 350,000 of them struck. Personally, if I hoped to do any business with that dealer who offered you 3,000 for it, I would go back and explain to him that it is not worth anywhere near that much. If you took his offer and he found out later that he had been taken, do you think he would ever allow you in his shop again? I doubt it! Just my 2 Pence worth! Chris[/QUOTE]
