Hi everyone. I picked up my first Morgan dollar at the show today. My pics aren't the greatest, but if you can guestimate the grade I'd be appreciative. Also, about how much should I have paid (hope I didn't overpay...). Thanks!   "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Retail for an xf40 1884-O morgan is $30 according to coinprices.org. Just the silver in a morgan is $13.60. You did well. Congrats!

That's good to know. I know that Morgan's are a breed all their own and I'm not familiar with them. I doubt I will ever have big money to spend for them, but they are certainly beautiful coins

I could go AU-50 on this, and for $17 it was a fantastic deal . .  |

You know, holding one of these in your hand, I can see why people get so carried away with them. It's a big coin and beautifully designed.
