<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 134098, member: 1674"]It sounds like you got taken pretty hard. A little research on Heritage shows that recent sales of the 1910D Eagle in that grade go for about $1750, the 1910 Quarter Eagle sells for about $625, the Morgan dollar for anywhere from $50-$125 depending on how overgraded the coin is (that slab is NOT trustworthy), the 1999W proof quarter ounce bullion coin is worth about $200 and the heavily circulated Indian Half Eagle is worth about $175. that means the total purchase should have cost between $2800 and $2850. That is a tough way to begin an investment, already down 30% to start just from paying inflated prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would attempt to return them all and call it a lesson learned that coins are not the easiest thing to invest in.
