Gamall Maor New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 4:13 pm Short story, a coworker of mine, his wife's friend has a box of about 50 Morgan's. He sent me a pic asking what's it worth. As you can see the coin is not in the greatest shape, so is there a way to clean this? I told him I don't know of a way, but I do know that cleaning is not a good idea.told him I'd post it here to learn more. Thanks, Chris Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1652 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 4:21 pm The only recommended option for your friend would be to give it a bath in 100% pure acetone and then see what details show better for grading. It is a common date probable worth about $30 in this condition It does need to be checked for an overdate 7 over 6 which I can't assess from these pics.

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 1964 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 4:35 pm 50...that's a nice stash. At today's Ag price $1200 or so... The one in the pic seems to have quite a bit of environmental toning...are they all like that? Some Morgan's are better dates and would be worth more than melt. What does your co-worker's friend wife want to do with them...? You were right with the cleaning is not a good idea! Looking fwd to what others have to say...as well as a follow-up from you. smat Report this Post to the Staff
mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2811 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 6:17 pm I believe smat was meaning to say the price of silver per ounce is that $32-33 per ounce, and gold is hovering around $2,900 per ounce. And no to cleaning as mentioned above, except for a soak in pure acetone, as that should remove surface organic material. Report this Post to the Staff
