jlgaudlitz95 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 9:18 pm I have a 1896-O Morgan dollar in EF I was thinking about selling on ebay. My RedBook says that it's worth about $43, but most are going for only $30-$35 on the Bay. I would sell it to my usual coin dealer, but he's only interested in silver value. Where would you recommend I sell my coin for the best price? Report this Post to the Staff

You may be better off selling to your dealer, then again people do some pretty crazy bidding on ebay...on occasion. Edited by oih82w8 11/21/2012 08:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 10:18 am I have done well selling coins like this one on CL. Set a price and stick with it. Someone will buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
jlgaudlitz95 Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 10:35 pm Thank you all for your input. I'll try CL first, and if it doesn't sell, I'll try ebay. Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 12/04/2012 05:20 am If I were you i'd leave it on craigslist. You'll get more there than your dealer, and more than ebay for this one probably. If this coin sold for $35 on ebay, then after paypal and ebay fees you would only get $30.53. If it took you $3 to ship then your total profit would be $27.53 on this coin. Don't do ebay for coins that don't have numismatic premium. That is my rule of thumb. Craigslist will be your best bet.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 01:15 am He doesn't have the required 250 posts yet to sell here. If you do place on ebay, make sure to list your terms exactly so there are no surprises to the buyer. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
HippieOutcast Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 09:30 am I would agree with CL, seems like the best place to sell US silver coins that aren't key dates. Report this Post to the Staff
