Is the $850 ask for Grandma being sold or the glued on Morgan $1?

    I strongly suspect that the seller can give you a better answer than anyone here, can.

    it's a plaque, you get both for one money, I wouldn't pay more then 20 dollars for it myself. the Morgan will have glue residue on it

    I'm sure there's a story and sentiment behind it but it's not worth $850,

    If that was MY gram; I wouldn't be selling, anyway.

    Her dress looks alien. What's it made of, melted six pack can plastic thingies? or maybe real life Mithril?

    I think it is very thoughtful of the person that honors their grandma in such a way. The Morgan is not glued, it's inserted into a tight fit hole. The only way it can be worth close to the asking $ is if the maker has history, maybe? :)

    Seller just doesn't have a clue.

    His/Her paper money is way overpriced, too.
