[QUOTE="BUncirculated, post: 1819621, member: 29581"]How so? Many newbies to CT asking for opinions on damaged coins have thoughts of submitting those coins for grading and slabbing thinking that will increase the coin's value. If they want to waste their money on round trip shipping, plus the fees associated with submitting for a coin that in reality is only worth melt because of the wear and damage, would it not be valued opinions from those more knowledgeable to point this out? The fact that you sold this coin to someone, who thinks they got a great deal on a well worn, damaged, common date Morgan doesn't really mean that's the market, only that you found a sucker to buy it. Believe it or not there are more and more new comers to the hobby everyday, and many think that the Morgan series are the holy grail of coins. Truth is, that's not so. But to each his own. We gave you what you asked for, sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear.[/QUOTE]
