samboyellowsub Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 05:35 am When someone is selling AU sliders, they should go for a bit less than average AU's. From what I know, they've been used in casinos. Do you look down on these coins. Are they usually just place holders? What are some of the feelings toward them that anyone wants to share?

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 07:50 am AU Slider is a term that should indicate the coin is highend for the grade, almost sliding into uncirculated territory. AU is AU if just standard fare common silver dollars, no premium, no discount. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

samboyellowsub Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 2:30 pm So buying sliders as long as one recognizes they're AU, not MS or UNC wouldn't be a waste of money? I guess for common date Morgans 1878-1904, what would be a fair price for EF - AU coins? Or a fair range of prices? I know there are online price guides, but I'm wondering what sort of prices forum members are willing to pay. Its a little smarter to aim for those numbers anyway when purchasing. :) I used to buy silver dollars more for bullion content which would currently be $26, or more reasonably $28 with a fair premium. But, I really appreciate beautiful coins and am wanting to get some nice coins and am willing to pay for them, but can't quite afford to buy any rare or key date coins. In doing so, I'm hoping that what I pass on to my (unborn!) kids might hold their value or maybe get a little bit better so, just consulting a little bit with the forum. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 6:38 pm There is nothing wrong with buying sliders along as it is not ugly. Some of the nicest coins in my collection area sliders usually because a mint state coin is too expensive. Very often sliders have better eye appeal than some of the lower Mint state coins and usually at at a lower price. With morgans EF/AU coins would probably run you around $35-40. Depending on you budget, you could go for a morgan in the MS-63 to MS-65 range. A 63, 64, 65 will set you back about $60, $80, and $165 respectively but they are all beautiful coins to look at.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 01/31/2012 6:52 pm Some AU58 coins can look really excellent. I've got some AU58 coins alongside MS coins in some of my albums, and they look great and were quite inexpensive. Without a close examination it's hard to even pick them out. Aside from slight traces of wear, they can have virtually the same luster and marks as something like as nice as an MS63 but cost less than a MS60. A 60 or 61 would actually be a pretty unattractive coin and heavily bag-marked. Edited by CaptainFwiffo 01/31/2012 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
