[QUOTE="pa1979, post: 324273, member: 10978"]Hello everybody, I am pretty much new to collecting coins. Actually, I have many coins that I have pulled out of circulation, its just that recently I have acquired a taste in Morgan Dollars. The difference between before and now is that I am now paying for coins. I have been to a local dealer looking at specific coins, but just didnt really see what I wanted. I plan to go to more shops in my area. But in the meantime, I have been browsing ebay.....mostly taking stabs at high mintage, questionable, but more importantly CHEAP Morgan Dollars.

My trouble is with crappy pictures, and the possibility of buying artifically toned or cleaned coins.....I just havent handled enough to have the experience to tell. I have found a Morgan I would like to buy on Ebay. It is relatively cheap....and not too uncommon, but it has caught my eye. The coloring is distinct, and it doesnt seem too beat up.....and the return policy seems legit. The question now is.....Is it worth it?? Or better yet....Am I on the right track? Or should I stick with certified coins.....to rule out the fakes?? Or is the blue just the effect of being cleaned?? Would $30-$45 be too much?? Thanks, Pete[/QUOTE]
