<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 1166430, member: 23961&quot;]My son came over with an average Morgan dollar and wanted gas money.&nbsp; Since I was broke and the wife with the car, I had no cash on me.&nbsp; He suggested the local coin dealer, who has a reputation of being a miser when it comes to buying silver.&nbsp; I called him and asked the price he was willing to pay for a junk silver Morgan.&nbsp; He said on an average, he buys Morgans for $28, but he would not commit to a price.&nbsp; With silver being as high as it is, I explained this was a common Morgan and I was only expecting junk prices.&nbsp; The dealer said he could not tell me on the phone because if the coin was damaged in any way, it would be worth a lot less.&nbsp; I asked what he meant by damaged.&nbsp; He gave an example...a cleaned coin.&nbsp; I asked him if a cleaned silver coin was was worth less than it&#039;s silver weight.&nbsp; He said absolutely, regardless of what silver is going for, a damaged silver coin would be considerably less than what it&#039;s silver weight is worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>This doesn&#039;t sound right to me.&nbsp; A cleaned silver coin is worth less than it&#039;s silver weight?&nbsp; Sounds fishy to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW.&nbsp; I looked at coinflation and a silver Morgan was worth $35 dollars.&nbsp; I told him not to take less than $28, which I thought was fair.&nbsp; The dealer gave him $29.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
