Hello there,

On a dutch site this 1893 Morgan dollar is up for sale with an asking price of approximately $190. Do you think that's a fair price for this coin regarding the grade.

It looks to be around the xf-40 range, the price seems about right for the grade.
I do not see any red flags as to the coins authenticity. seems ok to me.

I would wait for the experts to chime in.

I agree with cartwheel. Looks like an old light cleaning though which can go either way at a TPG

Everyone's probably right.

Any return options?

Thanks a lot for all your responses, I'm glad I asked first before buying on impuls (although I already figured it had to be too good to be true).

Do you think it's worth making an offer or just pass on this one?

Well, here's an XF details one on ebay that is at $135 with 5 hrs left to go

401001364996

And here's an AU details one that sold for $245

391218304557

Your coin is better than the XF details coin but not as good as the AU details coin from the ebay links

So is $190 a good price? I would say yes but on the HIGH end, if you want it offer him $140 and try to deal. If he won't deal I'd say the $190 is Ok to pay if you like it. But try to haggle and get it for less

I can see this getting into an AU details slab (at a technical grade of au 50, the link above is more au58)
