Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 02:55 am i wanna know how much Microsoft stock did you buy when it was $0.35 a share? Everytime I click on something you are showing it is just down right beautiful so I know you have to be some multimillionaire sitting in some condo drinking a maiti somewhere. Heck I couldn't even afford your leftovers Report this Post to the Staff

steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 1:15 pm hhbkiddo, only proofs were minted from 1879-1885; the Morgan dollar started in 1878. 979 were minted in 1883, then only 10 and 5 pieces each for 1884 and 1885 respectively! So it is truly a rare piece of history. Report this Post to the Staff
hhbkiddo Pillar of the Community Canada 1248 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 2:14 pm Hello Steve, i go only by appearance. US coins is not my bag. BUT... WHAT is it worth? probably enough to buy a Benz or a Porsche with it... Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 2:23 pm I'm one who likes Trade dollars, especially in proof format. Maybe one day I'll spring for a nice proof. You didn't ask for grade opinions, but I'll take a shot. There are quite a few fine hairlines on both sides, nothing too severe but enough to preclude a gem grade IMO. The grading services tend to be more strict with proofs than MS coins when assessing surface imperfections. There is enough contrast to warrant a Cameo designation. So, overall PR-63 CAM. Did I mention it's a beautiful coin? It is! Report this Post to the Staff

Nah, that would be the value of an 1884 or 1885(well, maybe the entire model line of Mercedes or Porsche...) an 1883 in PR-63CAM would be a $3-4000 coin Report this Post to the Staff

hhbkiddo Pillar of the Community Canada 1248 Posts	Posted 07/31/2009 10:35 pm maybe I should start looking at US top coins for investments? Report this Post to the Staff
CCya Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 08/01/2009 02:28 am <<maybe I should start looking at US top coins for investments?>> I would recomend collecting what one likes and avoid the investment perspective. You'll get a lot more fun out of the hobbie. Report this Post to the Staff
