Volvicch Valued Member Spain 112 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 2:00 pm My friend has a BU 1889 Philadelphia Morgan he wants to sell. I kinda want it, but he is asking 120 euros, which seems excessive. I have been looking around and apparently the BU rating is something that is given to large lots of coins that are sent in to get them slabbed for a lower price. Thoughts?

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6637 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 2:18 pm BU covers a very wide range from $ 40.00 - $400.00 I think if they see mint luster it's BU Then they stop looking Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 2:44 pm Typical lower-end BU. Closer to the $40 value. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4472 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 3:11 pm There is a 1889 Morgan NGC MS63 on the CCF Buy,Sell,Trade forum for $55. You would be eligible to purchase once you reach 50 posts. It looks like a better deal if the CCF member is willing to ship international. Report this Post to the Staff

Volvicch Valued Member Spain 112 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 02:59 am Thanks for your input everyone. I'm going to suggest a drastic reduction in price to my friend and if he declines, I'll get it from somewhere else. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
