<p>[QUOTE="Broseph, post: 1820127, member: 57276"]Well, there is no way I am going to continue responding to the walls of text on here, especially while I have two people to respond to. There are a lot of semantics and circles so suffice to say, I will be more clear in the future if I ask what a coin is worth. I guess I have to specify "what would this coins sell for?"I am only interested in what the market is doing. If a coin sells for $25 on average, it's worth $25. I know that most collectors wouldn't touch a damaged coin unless it had an extremely low mintage. That's all fine and good, I understand completely. I don't collect details grades either. In my personally COLLECTOR opinion, they are not collectible. But if they are worth it to someone else, that's fine for them. I let the bidding decide that.</p><p><br /></p><p>My friends play magic the gathering and have decks worth more than probably all the coins I have currently. Would I rather have those cards? No. They aren't worth thousands to me. Could they sell them at market and get full value out of them? Certainly. The market for MTG is booming like it has been since 1994.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a fair point, but after explaining that I was interested in market value, then proved that the market value was higher than melt showing examples then by actually selling it at market for over melt, I don't know why anyone is still trying to drill the idea of it being worth melt into my head.</p><p><br /></p><p>I challenge anyone to find a morgan on ebay in similar condition to the one I sold that sold for melt. You'll find that they go about $25. There are only a few morgans I have seen sell in the melt range, and they were common date, cull, holed, and horribly colored.
