Based on today's silver price, a Morgan Dollar has $14.29 in melt value...yours probably a little less depending on how much was removed by the dremel. It's not a huge loss, but it is a loss. I understand not wanting to leave empty handed...but sometimes it is the best thing to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one question though...you say you haggled him down to $20 for it.

Normally, altering a coins surface is considered a bad thing to do as is seriously decreases the value. But, with this coin being so badly damaged it can't get much worse from a value perspective.
