I could see that there were Morgans (and a couple of Peace dollars) in the listing, but I could barely make out the dates on them, and there were no reverse shots.

If there had been obverse and reverse images, it would&#039;ve been bid <i>much</i> higher -- probably higher than its actual value, because at that point there would&#039;ve been people gambling on the best-case outcome (no cleaned coins, MS key dates) instead of assuming the worst. Of course, the &quot;winner&quot; might have tried to do a return after seeing the coins in-hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
