Around $240, IMHO.
Of course, cheaper the better, although I'm not too crazy about buying anything MS61. I would wait for higher grade, or good strike AU58 with an eye appeal for possibly less.

You should include the date, mintmark, and the denomination in your titles. Why Topic Titles are ImportantThe title of your topic is very important. Let's say you need help attributing an 1896 Morgan Dollar.... - Horrendous: Help!
- Bad: Need help with coin
- Better: Need help with Morgan Dollar
- Good: Need help with 1896 Morgan Dollar
- Awesome: Need help with V
This enables the members with expertise pertaining to your question to easily find and answer your question. The title of the topic also becomes the title of the topic's web page, which enables us to attract more collectors to the site. The more members we have, the more we learn. |

Offer $150.
That's a place to start. I wouldn't pay over $225. From the photos there's no telling how sharply it is struck, or how obtrusive the contact marks are. A bit of a pig in a poke.

Just my opinion, but I would not buy any coin that did not have a much better photograph than that. I can do better than that with my iPhone.

The coin looks typical for the MS61 grade. If you purchased the coin for less than $240, it would be a good buy.

 NGC photo shows the typical MS61 - a LOT of bag marks, an OK but not "oh wow" strike. Remember, MS60 and MS61 are basically dogs. A 61 is a nicer dog, but still a dog. And gold, because it's so soft gets a pass for bag marks where a silver coin would get nailed on the grade.

Thanks for all the responses. spruett001 thanks for that link, at least now I know where he got his asking price. This coin along with other gold coins is for sale by a individual, and I'm trying to cut a deal.

There are LOTS of those available in the 61-62 range with little actual price difference between those two.
A coin "bargain" is almost always so for a reason.
