Message:: [QUOTE="Broseph, post: 1819601, member: 57276"]I think people are confusing what I was getting at. When I say "what's this worth?" I mean "if I sell it, what can I get for it if I sell it?" as is "what is the market value" The new 2013 mint sets cost over $30. I wouldn't pay that. Does that mean they aren't worth that? No, it just means I wouldn't pay that much for them. I have learned a lot and it seems people saying "melt" to every damaged coin is doing newcomers a disservice. Just because it's only worth melt to YOU doesn't mean it is only worth melt. I started an auction with 13 90% silver coins for $0.01 AND pointed out scratches and imperfections. Don't question my morals just because you don't like imperfect coins. And yes, even with statements like "there is no right or wrong" you definitely implied that I wasn't an "honest modest dealer." People from all over were bidding on my auction until the last second. If they need to resell it, they could. There is a market for the coins, obviously. I started coins as a hobby, but now it's a bit more. I put food on the table for my wife and I when I make good sales and good decisions. That's why I came here for info because I hadn't worked much with morgan dollars.  I recently made a $900 sale that got my wife and I out of some tuff times. If someone wants to pay something for coins, that is their prerogative. Buying something for less and selling it for more, isn't that what EVERY store EVER has done? All I did was start an auction for a penny. I can't be morally responsible for their bids on my items. I described the damage and gave good pictures. In the end, the buyer who got the final snipe bid was very pleased. Everyone in the deal is happy. The only one who is unhappy is you apparently.[/QUOTE]
