brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 6:04 pm I bought this coin, and it was listed as BU. The sellers photos were real bad, but I figured I would take a chance. I was thinking it was AU and hoping it would be better in hand. It is not any better in hand I don't think. I think it is AU with some slight cleaning and over dipping. What do you think? I gambled $300 which is a steal if it really was BU, but instead I am going to most likely return it assuming you guys agree with me that it is AU Details. It is also VAM 3 which is a popular VAM. Here are my pictures. Thanks for looking and any thoughts. Sellers pictures can be seen here https://goccf.com/t/239909 if interested it them for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 9:34 pm Your instinct is correct and not worth $300. Sometimes those "take a chance" purchases can work out real nice tho. Send her back... Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 09/15/2015 11:35 pm Agree with light cleaning based on faint diagonal hairline scratches above Liberty's cap on the obverse and above IGWT on the reverse. Luster is also pretty muted for a CC Morgan dollar with this much detail. It looks genuine but authenticity is a real concern for Morgan dollars these days, especially the better dates. Did you check the weight and try a magnet? Maybe you don't care so much since it sounds like you will just return it. The "spitting eagle" is a cool VAM but the value is about the same as for the ordinary variety. Report this Post to the Staff
