I met a guy from Craigslist who said he has three Morgan's dated 1921. We have been in contact via email and I asked him how much he wants for the three coins. He showed me a picture of both sides and said he will take $60 for them. I offered $55 and he said that will work if I come pick them up at his place. From the pictures, they appear to be in AU condition; all are from Philadelphia. I did ask if he would be willing to go down one more dollar to $54 so that way it averages out to exactly $18 per coin but he hasn't answered me back yet. I will post pictures of the Morgans later.

Buying coins from Craigslist always has a risk. Study your Morgans to make sure they are authentic before purchasing.
Good luck, and post coins if you get them.

I had a guy tonight message me saying he had silver dollars from 1798. I had him send me pics and they were all counterfeits and I told him these were all fake.

Keep in mind, you're essentially buying bulk silver with these. 1921-P was the single highest production of any Morgan dollar, and none were melted under order like the earlier issues. They carry no real numismatic premium below MS65. $18 is not a terrible price, but their value will track that of silver more closely than other Morgans. They do look rather nice. The topmost one stands a chance of being Uncirculated; 1921's differing design can look circulated when it's not. |

Frankly, asking him to come down one more dollar before seeing the coins in person wasn't the best move, and you might not hear from him again.

You are paying full retail for these if they are all AU.
Not getting them isn't a terrible alternative.
I know if someone had offered me $55 for something and I agreed, I would have no more time for someone who broke our agreed price by asking for another buck off.

I know if someone would have no more time for me all because I asked for a measly dollar off the agreed price, I would have no more time for them. |

Any Morgan in any condotion for $18 is a good deal. Asking to come down owne more dollar is a ludicrous move though.

If I were the seller one more dollar discount wouldn't hurt me, I'd do the deal.

Once you make an offer, man up and stick to it. It isn't the dollar that matters here, it's standing by your word.  |

 I would have gotten annoyed too... if you already agreed on a price you should stick by it. It is just a dollar but I think it's more the principle. I hope for your sake that guy doesn't feel the same way. |

I ended up not going for the deal mainly because I don't really like 1921 Morgan dollars, but the seller and I have exchanged phone numbers. |

So you then backed out of the deal after asking for one more dollar off and he accepted? Better check to see if that phone number is a valid one.

Sounds like he backed off twice.  Silver4Face, suggest you rethink your strategy before pulling that stunt at a coin store or show. Edited by Coinfrog
