1885 $1 - PL (?)

Stephen, it certainly does look nice, but I don't think it would grade out above MS-63 due to what looks like bag marks on Liberty's face and the obverse field. 1885 (P) Morgans don't reach $149 until about MS-65 and even then, it would have to be already slabbed by one of the top four at that price. If it were graded as prooflike (and no doubt it's a sharp srike) in maybe MS-64 already in a PCGS slab, it might reach the BIN price. However, as a raw coin, it's not worth the BIN price in my opinion. Maybe $100 max. If you want to list the auction here, we might be able to give you a better opinion based on the whole auction (e.g., seller's feedback, experience, description, etc.).

I found the auction in question but didn't post it here as that is up to you. I can understand not wanting competition for an auction. I looked at the seller's feedback and there are quite a number of comments that coins are not as described. Even though she accepts returns, I would be very, very cautious in my dealings with her. I get the impression that she's VERY good at photography and lighting and not so good at accurately representing her coins.

Stephen, be careful of putting me on a pedestal which I don't deserve. I'm just a Morgan nut, but no expert (although flattery is ALWAYS welcome - it feeds my hungry ego ) . If I have any advantage over others, it's because I have Bowers' great book on Morgans to which I constantly refer and a number of other Morgan references and catalogs plus my own collection with which I can make comparisons.

I also found the auction and while I have had no experience with the seller, it's pretty clear from her feedback that she exaggerates the quality and grade of her coins and can take a pretty picture. Pretty typical of too many ebay coin sellers.
