Grade: VG-8 details, rim damage.

Just my one (Morgan) dollar -- all Morgans are worth more than scrap at the moment.

Strangely enough, there are far more AU and MS Morgans around than circulated examples, and some collectors even actively pursue the circulated grades just to stand out / be different from the slab boxes full of TPG MS coins and GSA CC dollars.

I wouldn't scrap a Morgan even if I had 10 in better grades, just because, but there are plenty of bullion dealers out there who will buy them by the bagful for gleeful conversion into, at most, $12.20 per coin (at 6/27 retail spot price.) Never mind they could get $15 or $20 or even more on an auction site for the same coin; the profit's not an issue, the convertibility is, and bullion bars or even ASE's are easier to move than Morgan dollars when it comes to investors who play the precious metals game.

Just my opinion, so don't be too offended if you had already planned to scrap the coins.

I'm at VG also.

The numismatic premium for any undamaged, unimpaired Morgan continues to be such that even the most common issues don't fall into the "junk silver" category. So I see this one at least (even with the minor rim bumps) as a "save".

I've developed a bit of a liking for Morgans in the lower grades. From an aesthetic standpoint, he design seems to withstand heavy wear better than many others.
