<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 26502009, member: 22377&quot;]A Carson City Morgan is a nice iconic coin to start a collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you just want a nice example in MS 63, then the common dates (1882, 1883, and 1884) can be had in the 325-375 range (based on recent eBay sales). In MS 64, it would be about $50-$75 more than the 63 range. This is for untoned examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>Toning can add a premium. It is a wide range depending on the level (small to no premium for average toning to huge premium for monster toning). Generally vivid rainbows and greens, in addition to nice luster, are the factors for increasing the value. Dark toning can detract. There is more to it but if the color appeals to you and the price is within your budget, then the coin might be for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of show pricing, it varies greatly. Some dealers have fair pricing while others are way to expensive. For a generic untoned CC Morgan, it is not recommended to spend more than what you could pay on eBay (325-375 for an MS 63). </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is some variability in quality within a grade. At a show (or online), look at many examples and see which one looks the best to your eye. Stick with PCGS or NGC graded examples (Anacs and ICG are good too but they should be priced lower since the market values them a bit less). </p><p><br /></p><p>And the original GSA holders are popular. For the three common dates that I mentioned, there is not much of a difference in price between it being in the GSA or in a regular PCGS/NGC slab. It is a personal preference as to which one you would rather have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
