<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ozland tiger, post: 68082, member: 3168&quot;]<b>Your 1880-S is a beautiful coin</b></p><p><br /></p><p>My grading service preferance is NGC and PCGS for Morgan and Peace dollars. I wish NGC would attribute all the different Vam varieties, but they don&#039;t. PCGS is very good, but in my view colorphobic. I haven&#039;t tried anyone else.</p><p>The dealer in my area (while very knowledgeable) really doesn&#039;t like collectors per se, but prefers a quick sale. I am a collector and I like to look at coins before I buy them. Having said that, I always purchase from him silver dollars, but I don&#039;t have the type of dealer that likes to work with people. I overheard say he didn&#039;t like time wasters. </p><p>When I look at coins I like to look and take my time and I was offended even though the remark was not directed at me.&nbsp; Also, my local dealer doesn&#039;t have any enthusiam for Vam attributed varities. Accordingly, I now regularly purchse coins in Houston. Texas from US coins, Louisiana gold in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and&nbsp; I travel to Springfield, Missouri ( a three hour drive) to buy coins from Ozark Coins , and I would travel from Kansas to Florida to buy your beautiful 1880-S for a hunded an eighty dollars.</p><p>I appreciate a beautiful silver dollar and yours certainly is. </p><p>I also purchase the three coin modern commemoratives with the five dollar gold piece. I have over half those issued. I have bought them all from dealers in the last four months.</p><p>I didn&#039;t mean to ramble, But there are so many dealers around the U.S. who see coins as a specialty and like to work with people and not treat coins as just a commodity. I wish many of you lived where I lived.</p><p>I am afraid my dealer would not see the beauty of your coin and in my humble view, thats really sad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
