kylecolb Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 5:22 pm I have been working on buying up the New Orleans Morgan set a coin at a time, and since I have decided to start selling off my PEZ collection (the little candy dispensers, some are worth thousands believe it or not!) I have decided to spend some of the money on coins. Here is what I have picked up over the past few days. Any thoughts? This brings my Morgan collection up to 17 different date morgans. I am going for all the morgan new orleans dates plus the 82 O/S, 88 Hot Lips, and the 1900 O/CC I am stoked with this haul! Guess the total price? Report this Post to the Staff

paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 5:50 pm I'm thinking of doing the same thing re: Nawlins mintages. Here's one you might want to take a shot at. I've bought many from him over time: http://www.ebay.com/itm/28073622959....m1438.l2649 Report this Post to the Staff

joe316 New Member 32 Posts	Posted 09/12/2011 6:46 pm Hope that you sold the PEZ collection before you are spending the money you think you can get for it. Cause those things are not worth what you think they are in today's collectors market with the recession and tight wallets. Might have been worth that 10 years ago but like comics, and hockey cards nobody is paying that for anything but the oldest originals. Report this Post to the Staff

I have already sold a good portion of the ones I own, so I have already received the money. I have been collecting PEZ for over 13 years, and everything I sold I made a profit off of. The best one I currently sold I bought for $300 and just sold a month ago for over $475. Also just sold a group of pieces to a guy in London for over $400, many pieces in the $50-$200 range. These things are hot! In the past 6 months I have watched over a couple dozen pieces hit the $1000-$5000 mark on ebay. The last PEZ convention I had attended many people I knew had bought pieces at $1000+, it is crazy. I still have the mid-lower end stuff to sell, over 800 pieces still. Going to take a while.

kylecolb Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 12:01 am I didn't think it was too bad for a 23 year old still in college, something that will at least grow in value so I'm happy with it. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 12:11 am I was going to say $530, and get all superior on you if you'd paid more. Well, Nicely done, sir. That's an excellent haul. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 12:46 am I like the look of that 1894-O. I love circulated Morgans. Well done! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

There are a few of the New Orleans mints I have to get in this condition or worse, due to the premiums of the higher grades. The 88 Hot lips is the same story, anything in higher grade costs much more. I like them and they will look in my completed set, when that day arrives. Always nice to see a variety between MS65 and VF-EF too. Edited by kylecolb 09/13/2011 01:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 02:06 am Nice group of dollars. I am looking at a super 1881-O that has to have the sharpest strike I have ever seen for the date. The hair is fully detailed above the ear and the feather detail on the eagle's chest is superb. It is at least an MS-63 and the owner of it and I are thinking it could make MS-64 and with such a big price difference between a 63 and 64 he is going to get an opinion from a guy we both trust. I don't need an 1881 date for my Morgan date set, see my new post for the Morgans I bought from this guy yesterday, but O mint dollars like this one are very hard to come by. It will be a couple of weeks before he can show the guy the coin and then well go from there. Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
kylecolb Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 11:57 am That 1881 might even make MS65 with how weak the strike was that year for the Nawlins mint. That would be sweeet! Report this Post to the Staff
