1888-O Double Die Obverse Morgan Dollar

stevepk

The seller does not describe this as a double-die obverse Morgan dollar and the photos are certainly too small to see, but at $200, it must be a double-die obverse Morgan, right? I sent the seller the message below. Does this make me a jerk?

I can't see the doubled die obverse in your Craigs List photo and can only assume this is an ordinary 1888-O Morgan silver dollar. I had no idea an 1888-O Morgan dollar in average circulated condition was worth $200. I would like to sell you as many as you would like for half your asking price. There is an upcoming coin show and I can stock up for you. At $100 each, we will both win assuming you can find buyers at $200. That's an easy profit for both of us. Text

I suppose an apology is in order if this is in fact a genuine double-die obverse.1888-O Morgan Dollar on Craigs List

OOOHHHHH SSSNNNOOOTTTYYY lol looks like he is selling it for an older lady and could be trying to get some profit for his own pocket. You should let him know it's not a 200.00 coin just to be nice.

One of the tricks I use is the bottom of the E of LIBERTY is partially obscured on the DDO. Looks like it here, so it does indeed seem to be a Hot Lips. A bit pricey though for the grade.
