Axe New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 2:44 pm Hello everyone. I am primarily a bullion collector, however I recently acquired some Morgans and was curious as to their value and if I should have them graded. I thank you in advance for your assistance and please excuse the quality of the photos. Report this Post to the Staff

ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 3:03 pm I don't think so. Pretty common dates and the 1898 is pretty scratched and the 1896 has a small ding on the rim. Silver coins are commonly traded as bullion. Morgans usually fetch a premium over spot. Then there are VAM varieties that I know nothing about. There's a possibilty maybe that these are a rare VAM, but better pictures would probably be needed for members to attribute. Edited by ratman4762 12/20/2009 3:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The 1898 while the details look to be about EF-40, the scratches will lower the grade somewhat. Sorry to say neither coin is worth sending in for grading. Report this Post to the Staff
Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 10:51 pm Hi Axe, and welcome to the forum!! As everyone else said, I wouldn't bother sending either coin in for grading. They're common dates. Better to just hold onto them and enjoy them as they are. If you want a nice holder for them just because you do, I'd recommend a Capital Plastics holder. You cna get some good deals on them on ebay and they're very attractive. Report this Post to the Staff
