Newbismatic Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 6:26 pm Hey there all... I just received my first Morgan in the mail today! Paid $20 plus shipping, so I figured it wasn't a bad deal by any means... the condition it is in is not so great... From what I've seen around the forums I'm thinking G-#?ish Kinda tricky taking photos with her in the 2x2, but I think they came out ok. Regardless... I think I may have just unlocked pandora's box, 'cuz she's a beauty, and she needs some friends! I'm not going to be able to stop now. Report this Post to the Staff

cperry8483 Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 02/11/2011 03:42 am VG seems right to me. And despite the old cleaning, it has retoned very nicely. Excellent choice for your first Morgan sir! Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/11/2011 10:41 am $20 seems like a GREAT retail price to pay for this coin as well. It has about $23.37 worth of silver and collectors will often pay a slight numismatic premium since Morgan dollars are highly collectible coins. Hence, not unusual to see these selling for $26-$28 at retail shops. Report this Post to the Staff
