It took longer than I expected but coins are finally here. Morgans are (and weight) 1881-S (26,81g), 1883-CC (26,78g), 1883-O (26,82g), 1900-P (26,82g) and 1921-D (26,77g). Didn't stick to magnet. Here are quick photos of both obverse and reverse. I'll post more accurate photos on grading forums.   |

They look good to me, but I am no Morgan expert but I would probably buy them

That is a great score! I think the pawnbroker did not understand the value of that 1883CC which I believe is worth at least $200 by itself. I think he sold all the Morgans for their silver value more or less. I wonder if pawnbrokers in the USA sell foreign coins for such deals? Most pawnbrokers understand that Carson City Morgans sell for a premium and they also understand that Morgans in mint or AU sell for more than $25 each.

Startin bid for this auction was around 74 USD so somewhere near silver value I think. I Don't know if it same in U.S. but in here if you don't pay back your loan pawnbrokers have to put items they claimed to public auction.

I'm going to try sell 1883-CC and 1881-S at local auction since I have those already. Profits I'll use... to buy more Morgan dollars  . |

@Terry I can attest to the fact that some places in the US do sell foreign coins for steals at times. My LCS definitely does.  |

I ended up sending all 5 coins to local coin auction to fund my next slabbed CC Morgan dollar or maybe some other lower mintage one. It'll be interesting to see how low/high price those coins will go. |
