$54 is too pricey, IMO. I'd look for a better deal. What would you pay, if anything, for this coin? |

Overall, It is a nice looking VF common date Morgan, I wouldn't pay more than $40 delivered. I will add that Greysheet retail for VF35 is $49. I see in ebay sold listings some XF holdered coins selling i$45-65. Edited by adam126402

Apart from the high asking price, I think I see some wipes marks on Liberty's face as well. As a result, I will pass and look for a better, more affordable coin.

Good choice passing. It has an old cleaning, 50/50 shot at straight grading. Also I don't think it has enough to make VF. F12

Zero chance this is a vf coin, not sure how multiple people can think that.

Slides through for a VF20.
Would likely straight grade as
the old light cleaning is not too
Bad!

15 years ago circulated, common date Morgans were easy to find for well under $20, sometimes $15. It's amazing what prices they bring today. I still wouldn't value that one over $30 today.

Wholesale is about $35. About $25 of that is melt value so you're looking at a market numismatic value of about $10. It's not really appropriate for a dealer to slap more than 3-5% on top of melt but 20% premiums for numismatic value are common so I think a price around $40 would be reasonable if a bit high. Anything over $40 is IMHO a ripoff for something that is mostly a bullion coin.

This is an oval-O 1889 / VAM-2x. That makes it a Top-100 VAM. It would bring a little more because of that, but the listed price is still a little steep. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Price dropped to $46 delivered (free shipping). Seems reasonable now. Let's take a chance...
