Silver4Face New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 12/17/2015 01:00 am I was at a pawn shop that hasn't had silver coins in a while. This time there was only one coin and it was a 1900 Morgan dollar (New Orleans) that looked slightly cleaned and would probably grade "Fine". It was priced at $25, so I asked the cashier what was the lowest she could sell it for, and she said she had to ask the manager. She showed him the coin and after he spoke to her, she told me $12! I couldn't say no to such a deal so I took it. I will post a picture later today. Edited by Silver4Face 12/17/2015 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 12/17/2015 5:18 pm It'd be even better if it's a 1900-O/CC ... as long as the CC doesn't represent a Chinese Counterfeit! Many pawn brokers and their employees don't know how to spot a counterfeit, altered coin or unmarked copy. Report this Post to the Staff
