Met with someone wanting to sell an inheritted collection today

GoldenEyeNumismatics

Bought the whole lot. Included about $150 face value of silver, mostly walkers and Barbers (no Kennedies!). There was a gorgeous, very crusty AU 1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar, and some better date S-Mint Morgans in AU. Also some CC Morgans, but no spectacular pieces in that arena. About 60 common date Morgan and Peace. They were in a number of different folders. I about crapped myself when I opened up one of the folders though, and amongst a number of XF Morgans this Superb Gem popped out:



The fingerprints actually don't detract too much when you see the coin in hand, although they are definitely distracting. There are very, very, very few marks. The color is great. Should I dip it? Or should I leave it be?

I paid him handsomly for the collection and he left very happy. I had bought the collection with the intent to resell, but some of the pieces are so nice that I might have to hold onto a couple.

Wow, what a toner! It's too bad about those fingerprints, but it's better that they don't make themselves as noticed in hand. Nice pickup!!

That Morgan has such nice toning that I would keep it just as it is, fingerprints and all!

I would leave it as is. It's a beauty even with the finger prints. What type of folder was it in?
