<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 26041783, member: 85976&quot;]I don&#039;t think I posted this one here, yet.</p><p>The one I let get away....</p><p>I bought this 1883-CC GSA Morgan on ebay back in 2003 for $157.50. When I got it in hand, I realized I had a very nice coin, and thought I could get it certified at NGC (they didn&#039;t re-holder it - just put their sticker on the original GSA holder), and make a decent profit off of it. I had a friend and Morgan &quot;expert&quot; look at it, and he agreed it could get an MS-65 designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>At that time, I was discussing coins on a coin forum called rec.collecting.coins. I posted pics of the coin, and asked for opinions. We had a pretty spirited debate on the coin&#039;s merits (or lack thereof), and eventually I decided to send the coin to NGC to &quot;prove those experts wrong&quot;. Well, it came back MS-65, and I was happy!</p><p><br /></p><p>The thing I did, and now regret doing, is that I put it on ebay and sold it. I got $299.00 for it, which was a nice profit. But, now I wish I had that coin (and it&#039;s sister, which I also sent in at the same time and it got MS-63) still in my possession! Now, I have no GSA Morgans. Just looked it up on NGC.com, and it looks like that MS-65 is now worth $550.00......hurts even more!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1655854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1655855[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
