The other day I purchased:

and

Do you think it was worth it or was I ripped off? Its hard to tell how well they are graded, if anyone has insight on that.

The Morgan dollar is a good deal. The quarter may or may not be. It looks like it might be cleaned.

I don't know much about the quarter, but that Morgan purchase is nothing to be ashamed of. Nice job. I'm guessing you don't have them in hand yet?

The price on SLQ was a bit high based on the photo, which make it look harshly cleaned. The price on the Morgan was good, but it may have been cleaned as well. Neither piece went too high if they are are free of problems though. Watch out for the cleaning on future purchases.

I personally do not know where they got those pictures but I took some pictures when I got them in the mail today. Here they are. I think I did good for first time buys.

I made one purchase from this seller, who also sells under two other aliases in Ohio. The coin was harshly cleaned and the photos masked it. I kept the coin (a Morgan variety I lacked), but emailed the seller that he/she should identify the coin as "cleaned" in their description. I didn't leave feedback. I never received a response, but when I placed a nominal bid months later on another cleaned coin, I found myself "blocked". Also on the two other sites I was "blocked". The guy actually did me a favor. Now on my searches, I eliminate his offerings.

Ya, I mean he offered me a full refund but id have to pay for shipping so instead I just put the coin up for sale on ebay and am hoping itll sell well. it was 41$ so not too cheap. kinda upsetting really.

Yes, both coins are very attractive and I feel that the money you paid for them is very fair. Enjoy your new additions!
