I had no idea that this coin was in the bag of estate coins. Imagine my surprise!! I do understand that the value might just continue to rise but what if I sold it and then purchased some other key date coins. What I am thinking is look at my profit .

forgot to tell you that I knew there was a morgan in the package but could not see the date. the other coins were not worth much. maybe $35 - 40

Sell it if you want, they are easy to sell. In fine condition you should get around $800 for it.

Looks harshly cleaned to me but is probably a F15 with details. I'm sure it is real but looks a little off, someone here that is a lot more knowledgable then me will be able to give you a better review of it. Nice coin $600-$800

the MM looks awful weird on this one. Not sure if its a hit or what (can't tell ion those photos. If you want it slabbed I would just go with ANACS because PCGS will just put genuine on the slab with no grade (if it is genuine) and even though ANACS will put a details grade because of the problems you do not have to join any collectors club to submit the coin. Your reasoning about selling makes no sense to me, selling one rare date to buy another just seems kind of stupid to me unless you just like another series more. If you like Morgans then I see absolutely no reason to sell a key date and then buy another key date to keep no matter how much you paid for the coin

Don't like the look of that coin one bit. Tough to tell from images and weird lighting but I would guess a cast counterfeit. If it is genuine, it has been mistreated badly. I just has nowhere near the look of a genuinely circulated Morgan dollar. How much of that is due to phtography I don't know, but I don't think all of it is due to image problems. Good luck and I hope it's genuine. |

It rather looks cast to me, as well - I don't like how "mushy" the lettering is, especially the serifs. Even worn serifs should show sharp definition from the fields. It may just be an artifact of the photography. Authentication is mandatory for this one.

if this is found to be a cast counterfeit it puts question on the whole Sack of coins in my opinion and all should be checked to make sure they are real, not all graded but all checked by someone with the knowledge to know the difference

Looks cleaned, re-toned, and has rim dings. The MM is suspect, and I could authenticate it with a better obverse view. Not trying to take away from your coin, just giving you an idea what you may be offered....probably around $400 to $500......If there were no problems, it would be $750 to $900.00. Grey sheet bid for an EF is over $2000.00, but you'll never get that from a dealer even if the coin was a perfect EF.

Excellent. I'm quite prepared to believe it's real with better evidence - although it's one of the most (if not the most) popular Morgan counterfeits, it's also a coin which is quite available and still being found in previously-unknown collections. It is not yet time to abandon ship.  |
