<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ErrorHunter43, post: 2042893, member: 54353&quot;]From my own experience, and I&#039;m speaking from a profit-making perspective, the existence of eBay has thrown the &quot;books&quot; out the window as the potential &quot;buyer base&quot; has gone from only locals to literally the entire world&#039;s population.&nbsp; Aside from the excessively rare coins like the 1944 steel cent or the three legged buffalo, I have yet to see &quot;book prices&quot; be remotely accurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>By simply being a &quot;Morgan Dollar&quot;, even if it has three holes drilled into it and an obscene drawing scratched into liberty&#039;s face, the coin will still go for more than melt price.</p><p><br /></p><p>The intelligence and/or expertise of the eBay bidder should not matter. What should matter is that the eBay bidder is going to pay you $5-$10 more for the coin than someone buying it at spot price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get 20 of them together and sell them as a roll of &quot;cud morgan dollars&quot; and the bidders will go completely nuts.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the collectors who treasure condition and rarity, this should be a good thing. This means you can sell your &quot;trash&quot; pieces for excess profit in order to use the funds to obtain what you really want in your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>See this auction for example: </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&amp;alt=web&amp;id=261674959911" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&amp;alt=web&amp;id=261674959911" rel="nofollow">http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&amp;alt=web&amp;id=261674959911</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s $176.00 over melt price. And I would consider that well worth the time it would take to list the coins and ship them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
