Thoughts on grade appreciated. Thanks. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 11/06/2023 1:45 pm I appreciate your thoughts. Just what I was thinking, but a good deal for $40! When she arrives, I can get a better look. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18684 Posts	Posted 11/07/2023 08:20 am the surfaces are so scratched up that I can't tell if there is circulation wear. i'll call it UNC details. even at AU something with a details designation $40 would still be a great buy was it listed as an R78 or did you snag it and someone messed up?

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 11/07/2023 09:35 am I really appreciate your time and attention on this coin. Expect it in hand in the next day or two. Quote: was it listed as an R78 or did you snag it and someone messed up? This was one of two coins in an auction lot that also included a MS 1880-O (no variety determined by photos.) I won the two coins for $80 including fees, thus my $40 valuation for this one. There were dozens of Morgan dollar lots in the auction. I bid on this one and one other that had a MS 1900-O/CC. Someone else must have noticed that one and the bidding went up and up. When I hit $180 (on a lot that was expected to bring $50-100,) the auctioneer decided to pause for closer inspection. That's when I decided to exit the auction and the coin eventually sold for $220 - still a great bargain.
