http://cgi.ebay.com/7-RARE-CC-CARSO...em5d2a5573faI wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the ebay section of this forum, but I thought I might attract more "Morgan knowledgeable" people over here. As you answer my question (what would you "offer" for these seven 1892 CC Morgans) please try NOT to debate the wisdom of buying on ebay or the merits of this particular seller. Please just look at the coins, assume they're legit and tell me what you think I should offer. (EDIT by weerdsteev: Note - I originally had the date as 1879! Sorry! Brain Cramp! - but I still WANT all 7) (For the record, I have had NUMEROUS dealings with this seller and have been VERY HAPPY with them) Thanks! Edited by weerdsteev

yeah and this seller is one of the craziest sellers on ebay. I have seen them have common date stuff for $20,000.00 just because its old. I have never dealt with them but I don't think they know much about numismatics at all. I would do a google search on his ebay name and see if this is someone you would want to do business with before offering anything Edit: there I go answering before reading the whole thing. I see you say you have had dealings with these people and have been satisfied so I guess my comments do not apply to you, it is just something I would do myself. I guess if you have been happy with them before then go for what what you know. This seller only has 2 1879-Cc Morgans in his listings right now so not sure what you were trying to show us unless it was for the 1892-CC's you did post the link to |

OOPS! Sorry...yeah. I had 1879 in my head, but they ARE 1892's and I still want 'em so I still need "offer" input. Thanks guys for straightening me out!

I don't usually buy Morgans this worn and usually get them UNC condition so not sure what they are worth in this condition. By there description they only grade one coin in the VF condition (and even they say it is barely VF) but the best bet would be to go to ebay and see what other coins of this date and condition were selling for and then go from there. Someone else may be able to help with a price range better than me since as I said I do not usually mess with coins in this condition myself but I would still do my own research before I offered anything |

In the condition they're in, and noting the 1892 CCs are not really all that rare, I wouldn't go more than $80-85 apiece.

Bryan1315: Thanks. I know you were NOT tryig to imply this but the truth is that I am NOT a very discriminating buyer. If I end up buying these it will definitely be under the heading of an "impulse buy." I just want some CC's and it would be way cool to have a handful of them. (And in the condition they're in I wouldn't mind actually holding them in my hand!)

Thanks Moe. With this seller, you can frequently win things at about 25% of his "Buy it Now" price. But I don't think that, in this case, $447.50 (25% of his BIN) will get it done for me...so I appreciate the input!

Weerdsteev, Bluemoon coins has been around for years and is a source that you would have difficulty finding positive comments about.  There, wasn't that politically correct? |

I agree with Moe, based on the condition of these coins $85 each would be the highest I would bid on them.

Hadleydog: I'm sure you're right, but maybe because I only buy low quality stuff from them I don't leave myself open for a lot of disappointment!

Offer him 350.00 all he can do is say no,maybe that will get him thinking your way. |

I'm in at $466.00. That's $66.57 per coin. He'll probably counter-offer me, but we'll see...

Those coins are very wore down. At most, the average cost should be around $80 dollars. You should offer them around $550 if you really want them and can't wait for another time.

Oh, SNAP! Declined at $466.00! Well, I guess I'll wait a few days (don't want them to think I'm antsy) and then I'll try one more time...perhaps just a tinch north of $500.00...
