1887/6 Morgan PCGS MS64 scored on ebay

Kinda risky, purchasing a fairly pricey coin for this amount on ebay, but everything looked good with the feedback and the price was right. Books out at $1050. Snagged it for $870.00. I have to admitt that I buy a lot of coins on ebay, a couple of weeks ago I managed to snag a 85 Morgan CC GSA PCGS MS65 for $590.00, that one is an easy $850.00. I never thought I would get the coin for that price, guess I'm a little nervier than some, haven't got burnt yet........Provided a link to the 87/6 below.

    Not one of the more reputable sellers around, but nice score (I think).

    When you say "books" are you talking about retail?

    Looks like you're buying right around greysheet; those are the kind of prices I like. image

    Actually, it looks a little scratchy. Price seems to be right on par with the coin though. Of course, I'm a little conservative with grading though. All in all, a nice acquisition.

    BTW, according to Van Allen/Mallis, it's a Vam 2 Overdate. image

    Does look too ticky for 64 but a nice VAM. Overdates are always good thing to have. image
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
