Six Morgans and one .999 round at melt price One of the Morgans had this on the back when he was looking them over Report this Post to the Staff

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 9:32 pm Silver for melt price is great by itself, CC mintmark takes an already good buy to a whole new level. Congrats! I'm hoping those aren't hairlines I'm seeing on the coin, but from what I've seen, pawn shops are notorious about having badly polished coins. polished or not though, you still can't complain!

It's great to hear buys like this are still to be had, especially from a pawn shop. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 07:15 am Ed, I agree totally with you about the eye appeal, I love that look on a coin. I think it gives the coin character. He was thinking about selling it. But while we were sitting around yesterday raiding through all the home made Christmas candy. I brought up to him about how cool a story it was to be able find a coin like that in a pawn shop. And the fact that this coin is his first "CC" coin. And he has always wanted a coin from Carson City. He was convinced to keep it. Terry Report this Post to the Staff
