My Quest: 1880S-1882S Morgans

@Lehigh96

I actually went with 2 MS65's on this auction. The reason being I did not like the MS66's that were being auctioned. Even the green beans. The two 65's I got have a good chance for a green bean but I don't know if it would be worth sending it off considering I have already paid $104 per coin. I like what you said about 67. Pricing could get up there but a 67 1881S might be worth it.

I don't like how the seller is handling the coin...

 

What do you think the price should be?

 

What is dmpl your talking about. Interested

 

I like that tone and I'm really not a toner

 

I agree

 

DMPL = Deep Mirror Proof Like

 

$230-$240

 

I agree with much of the sentiment on this thread. Be patient. For '80-'82 S in the grades you are looking to buy, there are countless coins available. Take your time.

 

OK, let me know your thoughts on this one. I won this at HA on Wednesday. There is another at auction for the same year and mint mark Sunday that I will bid on if the consensus is bad.

 

Doesn't the cheek and fields have a lot of marks for an MS-65?

 

This looked better than a lot of 66's believe it or not. I was surprised in that auction.

 

THis was the 65 pl cac I sold

 

Nice solid 65.

 

I would say no. Compare it to the MS 65 and MS 64 here:

Congrats!

Thanks, when I get it in hand I will see if it is CAC worthy. I want to know what the true luster is like. I know it is an inexpensive coin to send to CAC but it's not about the price for me now. I just want to complete the 1879S-1882S quest!

 

I've looked at pictures of this coin from my phone, large screen on work computer, and regular laptop computer. It looks good from all but the big screen. I think if you look at a coin long enough with high magnification your opinion of the coin will go down. I actually think it is a green bean.

 

As I have said many times, Morgan’s are not my strength

 

That may have been why I was able to get it at such a reasonable price. It arrived yesterday in an Air-Tite holder... looks great for $26.
