I've got the chance to buy a few Morgan dollars, all of which are from the carson city mint (cc)

the years are:
1880cc fine
1878cc fine
1890cc vg
1885cc xf

They want about <600 for the lot.

It's from a private collector, i'll be going buy with my loupe to check them out and I'm looking to buy them for two reasons:

1. I'd like to add key dates to my collection
2. As a slight investment, although knowing I have key dates is more important :D

Any advice?

To me, the price sounds quite steep, and I really wouldn't call any of them 'key dates' either.

Save your money. Purchase these uncirculated that are slabbed by an upper tier third party grading company or buy them in GSA packs. These should hold their value and even appreciate their value over time.

the 1880 is the only one close to a key... its a semi-key and the CC year with the 3rd lowest mintage.

Here's some ballpark values for you. Prices assume the coins are accurately graded/problem-free and if so, $600 sounds like a very good deal. The 1885-CC is a semi-key date with only 228,000 pieces originally struck.

1880cc fine - $170
1878cc fine - $90
1890cc vg - $80
1885cc xf - $520

Thanks for the feedback, sorry for referring to them as key dates, I was just assuming that anything from "cc" would be a key date, I was thinking that those (cc mint) were the lowest minted, I need to check my Red Book more :D

Buying them slabbed would be ideal, but I assume I would be paying a premium since they would be slabbed and graded.

If I got them I would hope to pay about $500 or so.
