Seller states, "ONLY a hundred or so have been located and of those only 50 or so have been graded and certified!"
I guess he thinks he can just make-up anything he wants and states it as fact. The latest pop. count is:
NGC - 249
PCGS- 415
total - 664
He's only off by 614 lol

Only a fool would throw the money at it. And no rich fools (as in "more dollars than sense") ever bid on ebay? Seller's making the right move at this juncture. Colligo ergo sum

My dad went the other day to the store, they were working there as normal, it is not staged! You can see interveiws of the people on the show on youtube. But I do hate the people that use it as a commercial.

Perhaps some of the stories - maybe most - begin as people wandering in off the street, but they're not risking a poor scene shot. Every similar show does it exactly the same way. |

Is the description on his listing all jumbled together or is it just my iPad ? My iPad does some strange things sometimes.

His listing is all jumbled on both my PC and phone, although I'm not using "mainstream" browsers.

In the ebay listing why does the first coin say on the case that it is an "S" mint mark and then the second pic of the obverse depicts that it is a P. He didn't post the reverse of the 1895 dollar.  |

So no Morgan dollars are worth thousands of dollars pretty much right? |

His auction listing needs some serious help. Long on rambling verbage, but short on facts. Pictures of pages of a Dansco album ain't gonna cut it for a set of Morgan's. They may be nice coins, but before some yahoo plunks down 110K$ they will want some closeup pictures and some guarantees. Matter-of-fact, visually his ebay listing just stinks! |

OK, I finally got to see the episode last night in reruns. Can somebody explain to me what makes this coin the "King of Morgan dollars"? The seller kept hammering on the fact that only 880 were minted, but so what? Most classic proof coins had extremely low mintage. My proof 1900 Morgan dollar only had a mintage of 912, and it's not worth nearly as much. Heck -- I have a proof 1910 Liberty Head ("Barber") Dime with a mintage of only 551 and, once again, it's not worth nearly as much as this proof 1895 Morgan dollar. Is it somehow because the 1895-S and 1895-O are key issues to begin with (with only 850,000 total mintage between them)? If so, why would that matter? |

I think it's because there were NO business strikes made (a rumor of 10,000 struck but unsubstantiated)... so to complete a full morgan set you NEED that for your 1895p spot. In a nutshell, but I could be wrong?

I'm not a set collector but I'm sure they do for continuity? Could be wrong though
