Traded for an 1881-CC PCGS MS-64 PL at Today's Pasadena (Houston) Show

Stuart

I met a dealer at today's Pasadena (Houston) Coin Club Show with whom I am very pleased to have done some horse-trading... It's a win-win deal when you can trade some extra coins for something that you either really need or want!!

I was able to swap 3 duplicate Morgans (1897-O SEGS AU-58 slider, 1878-CC PCGS MS-63 PL, & 1897-S PCI MS-62 PL) for an 1881-CC PCGS MS-64 PL Morgan in an old green label holder (dark green label with laserprint).

We were both really pleased with the deal, and I hope to do more business with him in the future as I continue to sell & trade my Morgan Dollar duplicates.

I was also able to sell a 1921-S Morgan in NGC MS-64 to another dealer for Graysheet bid, which I felt was a fair deal for a coin that I've had for a while.

Unfortunately I am currently without a digital camera to post any photos, but I have a new camera on order which I should receive within a week.

Cool stuff Stuart

Thanks George!! It's a very pretty coin -- especially for a cashless transaction!!

Trades are sweet......some times it can be a challenge finding that middle ground between two traders, but it sounds like you both did well

Shane: You are correct with the above quote. However, forunately in this case the dealer picked 3 coins out of my box of coins for sale, I did some quick math, and we agreed on the deal in less than a minute.

We obviously both had the same idea in mind, and the pricing worked out to our mutual benefit.

Stuart I'm a sucker for those 1881CC's too. I already had bought in 1999 a PCGS MS-66 (tried for 67 w/o luck once) and the date for some reason is just a pretty coin compared to the other CC commons. I picked up another with 5"-6" mirrors in a GSA holder (not certified) at a B/M auction with one bid over the reserve (GS ask) last year and the only problem now is I want to keep both '81's! Sounds like a good trade but I would have hard time trading 1897-O, they're so hard to find nice in real AU-58.

MorganNut2: I certainly can relate to, and understand your 1881-CC dilemma!!

The reason that I was able to trade the 1897-O with a clear conscience is because I recently purchased a "keeper" 1897-O in PCGS AU-58 which is virtually uncirculated (pictured below) and appears virtually to be an MS-62 to 63 coin, that works for my PCGS Registry Set.

If you decide to unload your 2nd 1881-CC please let me know!!
