I have nearly 300 Morgan and Peace dollars, and most were won at ebay auctions, so I'm quite familiar with ebay auctions and with sellers and sellers tricks at ebay.

Taking good pictures can sometimes be challenging, but taking fair or at least clear and bright pictures is not, and when a seller offers very dark pictures (as your seller has), or pictures at a slant or angle, or where some of the coin is in shadows, that's generally done to hide something about the coins condition that they don't want you to see. And a seller that is trying to hide something about a coin is a seller and a coin you need to avoid. It's possible that you may miss a good one now and then because the seller just sucked at photography, but as they say, better safe than sorry.

$100 would be full retail for a non-problem coin in AU58.
i would pass on this one. its the most available of 87's. you can do better and without decent photos of both sides if it's less than 58 you would be overpaying for it. you have no idea what these photos are hiding.


Thank you Mr. panzaldi for you advice. I take you advice.


Well Mr. paralyse I'm afraid I can't post another picture, because I cancelled to take it

Agree with you Mr. KauaiHawaiiGuy will safe for the best.

Many thanks for all advices and time to stop by and read.

Solo, I'm glad to see that you are posting possible purchases here before buying. until you learn what you are looking for this is a good practice to get others opinions.
