I came across two nice picks last month at a local Jewelry store that only cares about coins as BULLION. Actually got these both the same day! Both were raw coins.... This one I paid $175 ($25 over spot) and he actually dropped it on the floor twice!!    Next I paid $26...   How did I do? LOL |

Regarding that Morgan. . . serves 'em right. How dare they treat an 1895-O Morgan as bullion! I can't believe you got that for $26.00. Congrats! What is the 1905 gold worth?

I'm . . . beginning. . . . to . . . . hate you. Just kidding. It sounds like you've got yourself a nice source to pick from. Address please. Hehe.  |

And let me add that I will probably never get this lucky with the Morgan series. I can't see myself paying anything but full retail for the 1895 coins because I refuse to buy them raw.

Awesome! I have tried a few jewelry stores and got nothing but weird looks when I asked if they have any coins. :(

Wow... Boy am I jealous.
Shame the guy running the place doesn't know what he's doing... I don't think I could handle seeing him touch and drop a coin like that.
Congrats.

The jewelry stores I've tried here in Dallas only buy coins they don't sell to the public (so they say), I'm guessing because most of them know about valuations and Heritage (being local) they probably save them for a wholesaler that comes through and takes all their buys off them. In SoCal I had pretty good luck, and regularly picked some great VAM Morgans from bullion buckets of coins sold at slightly over melt values, but nothing quite as nice as these two coins posted!
