westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7627 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 10:44 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5862 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 10:30 am 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?

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 10:46 am 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? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 2:00 pm Quote: 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. I only see two pictures of a slabbed coin in the auction one obv and one rev, and the obv image does not say it is an S Mintmark.

Do the various albums out there even have an 1895P slot? Or are you just talking about the completists out there?
