BU = Lower MS grades, right? 30$ Could you point me to your sources for that?
All I can find is mostly about double that value with some exceptions like Morgan 1921 or Peace 1922/23. But even those are closer to 40€ than 30€.

I just did a price check on ebay for a Morgan 1881 S BU a very common date. An actual BU is selling for around $65. Some listed as BU sold for under $50, but the coin was clearly circulated. BU - Brilliant Uncirculated |

ebay sold listings are a good place to start but many people overpay. Usually a true unc Morgan, common date, will run at least 50-60$.

Peace dollars - and to a lesser extend Morgan dollars - are in a massive price bubble right now. I wouldn't buy at the moment if I were you. Let it come down to earth first, then choose your coins wisely.

You think?
In a time of falling silver prices, looming recession and high inflation there is a bubble for historic coins?
I'd never thought that.

Looks like there was a huge bubble 30+ years ago!!
Now, not so much.
Thanks for sharing the graph.

Is this a general trend for the PD though, or just an aberration for the one coin you selected (which is the by a large margin scarcest and most coveted Peace dollar)? Edited by HP2001PH

My father was stationed in GE 3rd Inf. Div. and I started school in Kitzingen GE in 1964 and learned German so well that my parents dragged me around as interpreter. Can only remember how to count to 30, forgotten everything else. What you don't use you lose! Quote:

My local dealer used these grades and most ebay sellers do as well for uncirculated raw coins. You might check into Proxibid too, there seem to be a lot of shill bidders on these auctions though. Unc (MS60), Unc+ (MS 61 or 62), Choice Unc (MS63), BU or Briliant Uncirculated (MS64) Gem BU was just better than MS64. Superb is better than MS65 |

I'm not to sure about MS Morgan's being $30 to $60.I would say most are $60to $120.That sounds more like AU prices.I'm at the point now I'm getting really close to finishing my set. I need around a dozen or so more coins that are more like $500 to $1000 each and that's not even mint state coins for all of them.I could find some low grade fillers cheaper I guess but you have to be happy with your purchase.Money seems tough to come by right now and I'm at a block wall as far as Morgan Purchases go.For now it could be just 1 or 2 Morgans a year or none at all.I wish I had purchased them 25 years ago.

I agree, ebay sold listings would be a good start. |
