    How much did you pay for them?

    Many happy BST transactions
  • 700 on first one and 1100 on the second

  • Why

    Because that's most likely what they are worth.

    From a quick search of completed auctions at GC you paid just about what they auction for, in other words they are worth what you paid for them. You might be able to sell them for a modest profit on a retail platform like ebay or something similar.

    If you send them to CAC, and they were to pass, the values would be increased. However just from your photos I think both have a higher chance of failing at CAC than passing, in hand I might have a different opinion.

    Why did you purchase them? and ask what they are worth as that makes no sense at all. :s

    So keep us in suspense how much did you pay for them?

  • Just curious how well I did I know it’s about at greysheet but I am wondering if they would carry a premium

    As others have said, you appear to be into them at about current retail. If the photos are any way accurate neither coin appears to have any great eye appeal. Morgan CCs are common, common, common and all it takes is money to buy ordinary examples since they are also very popular.

    You pictures are slightly out of focus and the first one was taken at an angle.

    The grade in the holder is one sign of what something is worth, but eye appeal and what many collectors think of the coin is another. The toning on the first coin does not come off well for me, but that's me.

    Many Morgan Dollar collectos, aside from those who pay heavy premiums of pretty toning, like their coins white with no toning. Morgan Dollars freqauently come that way because they were stored in bags, away from the air, for many years.

    This coin may not be as nice as the one you have, but the color is more popular with collectors.

  • All I know is that 1878 Morgan’s don’t tend to tone

    I am not a big Morgan Dollar collector. I have a couple sets for historical interest in Capital Plastics holders.
