<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1924499, member: 27832&quot;]I paid $134 for a 1921 Morgan and 6 Barbers, $4 face -- that&#039;s more than twice melt at today&#039;s prices. The Morgan&#039;s worth whatever a lightly circulated 1921 Morgan is worth ($20?), and the other Barbers are worth a bit more than melt. Even making generous assumptions about the rest of the lot (and I try not to be generous when I&#039;m buying), I&#039;m into this 98-S for $60 or so. If it really is a noteworthy fake, the sort that could provide valuable information to dealers or other collectors, I&#039;d consider hanging on to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gashes actually look legit, although given those black pits I suspect actual gashes might look different on this coin. I can&#039;t really talk about whether they break the luster, because this coin doesn&#039;t have any, just a weird grainy texture -- no flow lines visible, and when I zoom all the way in with my current rig I can usually see them. (They appear to show up in my photos of <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/3cn-you-win-some-i-hope-ebay-bad-picture-gamble-2.246893/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/3cn-you-win-some-i-hope-ebay-bad-picture-gamble-2.246893/">the 3CN that I covered in a separate thread</a>.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
