OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 01:20 am I just need help getting a approximate grading of this 1879 O MORGAN SILVER DOLLAR I just got... I usually only buy Lincoln Cents, or Mercury dimes this was a venture out my comfort zone... Just want to make sure I didn't over pay.. What do you think would be to much to pay for this one...

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 04:03 am I'm a little bothered by the description of "Key" on the holder - although this was the lowest of the New Orleans mintages excepting the scarce early 1890's examples, it's still only one of nearly 2.9 million struck. Yeah, a bit of a key in Mint State (a $500 coin in MS64) but circulated examples are easy. This one's roughly AU50, as close as I can come from relatively small images. Not much of a premium in that grade; I'd call $40 a pretty fair price for it, for both seller and buyer. And yes, I found where you bought it. Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 09:41 am Thanks SsuperDdave, Yip, $45 on ebay.. was kind of a impulse buy I dont have any Morgan's I thought it was in good shape for the price but then again .. I tried to get one locally they where $300 range but was probably slightly better in grade. I only knew that there a few 1901 & 1879-0 uncirculated I had remembered reading that. I think I should stop buying none LWC and practice my grading on other coins till I am better at judging stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

Cruisinfusion Pillar of the Community United States 1531 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 12:52 pm It bothers me when dealers wright on their coin packages "Key date", "Gem BU!", "RARE!". I'm pretty sure I don't need anyone to tell me what's rare and what's gem BU. I'm gonna go ahead and agree with everyone and say AU50. Report this Post to the Staff
