MS64 and MS63 NGC common date Morgans are a "dime a dozen".
You can find hundreds of them at any coin show. Usually they are in a "grab bag" tray where NGC MS63 common date Morgans will go for around $40 and MS64's will sell for $55 to $60.

I won't address the issue of whether this should be posted here. However, I can guarantee you that I will not be bidding on any lot from this seller as long as he keeps the bids private. That's a red flag to any experienced Ebayer.

Why don't most coin collectors bid on ebay items when seller uses PRIVATE BIDDING? In a earlier post that I put on for my brother, one member states red flags. My brother has super feedback. Do you know how many spam emails you get from dealers and other ebayers stating that they can beat a price of another ebayer when selling the same coin? Enlighten me please. Red flags, what does this mean for experience ebayers? Coin Hog |

Shill bidding. To me, and many experienced Ebayers, there is no justification for Private Bidders which does not involve illegal or greasy/immoral activity. Even though I'm willing to bet that your brother is a completely honest seller (as you say, his Feedback is fine), too many examples exist of sellers who hide behind Private Bidder auctions to manipulate prices. We've been taught by experience to be wary of Private anything. Furthermore, his "no return" policy is unacceptable. "No returns" is an Ebay-only thing - no respectable coin dealer who directly sells on the Internet does that, and the ANA requires its' dealer members to have a reasonable return policy. I've been buying and selling on ebay since 1999, and have never received a spam like you mention. |

I have to say that I have never bidded on a "Private" auction and I have also never been spammed by any other dealer and I have over 500 transactions on ebay and most have been me buying not selling. |

how is it that ebay allows private auctions, and what else does this allow them to do |

Sorry about the double post, since you are new this system won't let you do certain things. Let me ask another question, If you had front row football tickets or something of high value that a buyer didn't want to be known, would you put your auction as private? My brother sell Redskins and Ravens tickets to well known people and they won't buy from him unless he has his auctions private. Maybe coins are exceptions Huh? Well I hope you give my brothers auctions a try. Coin Hog
