An old man in my local coin club has been pounding me for months now about my 1899 Morgan in AU-58 and he finally broke down and offered me a $10 gold piece. I told him no, only because the Morgan has sentimental value, I worked hard for it and all. Did I make a good choice. opinion
An Eagle for a Dollar Seriously though, if that Morgan has certain sentimental value to you, then you made the right choice
Excuse me for saying this but, seems kind of irrational on his part What grade is your 1899? If it is a higher grade and worth as much as his Eagle, then I can understand. Any idea why he wanted to make this trade?
my morgan is in AU-58, and he offered me a 1999 $10 ST. Gaudin. I am not really a gold coin collector, mostly old type coins and I have no clue why he would want to make that kind of a trade but anyway I feel about not making the trade,
You made the right decision in my opinion. That's a nice Morgan you have there! I had to pull the greysheet out on that one. I forgot it's not exactly a common date. 330,000 mintage is pretty sweet.
If PCGS thinks there is even the slightest hint of friction or rub, they will give it a 58. I would love to see a picture of your coin. It very well may be MS possibly MS63.
