<< <i>Kyle Aber, a refinery operator from Houston, Texas, was among those surveying approximately 500 booths where about 1,000 dealers displayed their collections. He was looking for two Morgan silver dollars -- a 1889-CC and a 1893-S -- to complete his set. >>



Isn't everybody?

PCGS has certified a considerable number of both. It's just the demand thats high.. You can usually find both at most any show. If you are willing to pay the$$

The problem with those two dates is that some dealers have decided that because they are the keys, the are worth 50% above the going market. The market has already priced them as the keys. And the dealers who price fairly sell them about as fast as they list them.

I think the article was focusing on the guy being a refinery operator and not so much on the coins themselves.

This must mean that I can look forward to getting a good price for the PCGS G04 1893-S I'll be selling today!.

The way they are going now Ken, I wouldn't be surprised if you pulled $16-1700 for it.

Oh, I know that was what the article was focusing on. Just as a fellow Morgan collector, I know those two dates are on just about all Morgan collector's wish lists. I have the 89-CC, but the 93-S is proving to be a tough proposition in the grade I want.

LOL at the dealers displaying their "collections".
