Great score, they look about MS. Was nobody bidding? They usually go to the moon. I just bought a piece of junk for $26 compared to what you got.

Yeah I was super surprised circulated-AU Morgans went for $18.50 Peace dollars for $17.50 and any other silver went for barely over melt price. I wish I had more money lol |

Not sure there were about 30 people there (90% elderly) so I figured all these dollars would go for more but was wrong. It was an hour away in a tiny town surrounded by corn though :)

No unfortunately no credit cards which is why I had to stop lol but at least I was able to get these, 3 other BU Morgans, and lots of other silver!

The toning on those Morgans is great. Even without toning they are really fine. The 1880 looks AU to me with just a little flattening on hair above the ear. None are scarce but that toning might really bump up their value. I just never see Morgans with that toning locally. Maybe you should have gone to local gas station and taken out cash advance and bought every coin they had. What do you think these coins might sell for with that toning? The hair on the 78 and 81 actually looks better than the beautiful 1880. Maybe the locals thought the toning was a fault or defect. How did you keep a straight face? I always pay out the kazoo for my coins it seems.

I am not sure about value but figured at least $35-40 would make up the cost and some. Still not 100% decided but I will probably keep the 1880 and 1878 for my own collection and will try to resell the 1881. We will see! Not sure why people didn't bid more everyone saw them before hand guess they don't care much for the toning. Their loss!
