Your pictures are quite small, but I am going to guess it is XF. That should put it around $100.

 

Nice Coin

 

I think in reality you are about 20 or 25 percent too low.

 

Grey sheet Bid for 1931s XF $105 ask is $115.

I always pay 70-80% of bid so I say he was right on target.

 

I have just seen 2 AU's go for $103 and $107 - PCGS/NGC certified. How much higher can you get in that window?

 

Are those tooling marks around the S

 

Nice find Jesse !

The closest I've come is a 1931-P , but I am gonna keep searchin !

 

I guess I overpaid [as usual].

 

Maybe yes, maybe no!

Without knowing what you paid, if you bought your coin to flip for a profit, then you might have, but if you bought it because you liked it for your collection, then it doesn't matter as much.

I collect Morgans, and I love the toners. Sometimes I will pay 5X-10X CDN Bid for a particular coin. A few weeks ago, I lost an auction for an 84-CC that was a monster rainbow. I couldn't afford to go any higher than $850, and I was the high bidder until the last 5 seconds when a couple of snipers jumped in and it closed at $1250. If I had the funds available, I probably would have bid about $1300, but there is no guarantee that would have stood up either.

I'm still waiting for better pictures of that "proof" Morgan you posted.

 

Nice find Jesse. Ebay?

There's still a hole in my collection for the '31S.

 

** Lately I am not buying much for resale. No I got it for my number one Lincoln cent collection in a Library of Coins album. Still missing only two coins, 1909 SVDB and the 14D.
Anyway back to the 31-S, it's probably a XF-40 and I paid about $135.

 

He still has a hole. The S was added. Blew up the pic and observed tooling marks around the mintmark

 

I'm beginning to think you may be right. Doesn't look like the correct "S". However, certainty is impossible with these photos.

 

Can your post your blown up pics for the rest of us to see?

 

Bam.... blown up to appx 3x regular size. The S is more defined and the area around it is a different color than the rest of the coin.

I don't know if I should start to feel bad for Jesse here or not.

EDIT: Added inverted shot so you can easily see the color differences.

 

Thanks for the blow up L., sorry Jesse, I agree with Ltrain & Cerdsalicious. MM is in the right location, but is not uniform with its surroudings...
