I'd be cautious with that seller, some of those images in his auctions look somewhat juicy, the pink hue background bothers me quite a bit.
That has been my experience — a subtle saturation boost for the colors. I had to return a toner before with him. But he also has had some pics/coins on the money. So I think it’s really coin to coin, and with a return privilege there really isn’t much risk.
But to answer the OP’s question: YES, in the event that coin looks like the pics in-hand, and also appearing to be a solid gem technically, it is indeed worth the asking price.

Why? It looks like a gorgeous coin, regardless of grade, holder or sticker.
Personal preference. I see it 100% as a collector, with no thought of personal profit, thinking in terms of what condition things should best be in for family when I am gone. It appears beautiful, yes. The price of it doesn't bother me that much. I will take the comment I made one step further. Speaking just for myself, not really caring what anyone else thinks, I would like this coin even more if it was offered PCGS Gold Shield with a CAC sticker.
Why are all of your threads rover.ebay.com affiliate links? Are you here simply to spam the site, embed code onto the machines of those who click your links and earn affiliate commissions from ebay when those folks buy ebay items and unwittingly send you a commission?

Tom, I’m unfamiliar with how that works. Is there another feasible explanation for such posts?
I think of you as an extremely level-headed and fair person, so the fact that you posted what you did, says a great deal.
Thanks.

I was wondering the same....but I have to admit that Tom also made me think: “If that’s a real thing, I gotta get in on that myself!” LOL
A very nice coin that may be slightly high on price, not moon money for the color & grade.
I'm not sure the OP is spamming the site or playing games. Seems like a new collector trying to learn for the most part but seems to have more knowledge than some of the questions would indicate. Not sure why someone would seek out all the questionable listings on ebay and keep asking the same kind of question without learning from the previous questions.
Rover is a well-established affiliate system for ebay where the user earns a commission on the purchases of those folks who click the links. They can be hosted on a webpage, image links placed onto sites or links in discussions. It has been around for years.

He has an appropriate handle if that is what he is doing. @dalladalla69
@TomB . The OP asks "Opinions" and that's it? Your spot on he's simply pushing sales, would not surprise me if his very own.
Anyway, every squirrel gets his nut from somewhere. Nice coin but, I wouldn't buy it with your money.

My recollection is that the OP has linked coins belonging to a number of different sellers. So it’s extremely unlikely that he owns this coin or any of the others.

If someone posts a link to any coin with a set ask price on Ebay and the thread title “Is this coin worth the price?”, I think that in most cases, the strong consensus will be “No”. It won’t matter if the coin grades 3 or 68 or if it’s toned or color-free.

All listings in OP's other thread removed by ebay. It would seem hard to benefit from a removed listing.
@dalladalla69 are you willing to address the comments above regarding your use of ebay "rover" links? I don't think there's anything nefarious going on, but it appears some people are concerned.
The 'money' colors are there . . . on the 'money' side . . . with a bit of textile to add some fun . . .
A very nice dollar. One that I would certainly look at while stopping by a table on the bourse.
But . . . you have a great progression over about 50% of the coin. I like my higher dollar toners to have a bit more coverage, but maybe that is just me.
I would look at it, admire it, test the waters for a true price . . . but at the listed price I would pass.
Affiliate marketing with eBay Partner Network is a way for partners to earn commissions by promoting products on eBay through a promotable and shareable link
How do I earn commissions?
First, find what you want to promote on eBay.
Next, create a promotable link to that page on eBay using one of the tools in your EPN account, like the Link Generator.
Then, you promote that link. How you do that is up to you - via your blog, your site, through social media, etc. as long as you follow the basic Terms and Condition
If someone clicks on that link and makes a Qualifying Transaction, you will earn a commission.
What is a Qualifying Transaction?
A Qualifying Transaction occurs when (1) an end user makes a purchase within 24 hours after clicking your link for a “Buy It Now” item, or (2) an end user places a bid on an “Auction” item within 24 hours after clicking your link and wins that auction within 10 days.
For Qualifying Transactions, you receive a percentage of the revenue eBay earns from that purchase. Note that there are certain items and categories for which eBay earns low or no revenue; in such cases, you will therefore earn low or no commissions. These items and categories may include, but are not limited to gift cards, items sold by charities, and special promotional deals.
How much commission will I earn?
It depends on what was purchased.
We pay different commission rates for different categories. For example, the “Parts & Accessories” category has a 70% commission rate, while the “Home & Garden” category has a 60% commission rate. (note: these rates are based on the global rate card going into effect on March 1, 2017)
Once I’ve earned commissions, how and when will I be paid?
EPN pays out commissions once per month, only for accounts that have earned more than 10 units of their home currency (for example, 10 dollars in the United States
I have bought from this seller not sure if you have I know pictures are hard but beware of the color the color difference in hand I bought two they had 30% less of color in direct light but maybe I was unlucky. He also will take returns with no questions asked but returns are a pain I would rather get what I buy time is of value also.

Beautiful Morgan dollar. I tend to look at every coin with this question: "What could I sell it for"? If I couldn't sell it for 90% of what I paid, I save the pic and add it to my virtual collection. I save all the money and get all the viewing satisfaction.

Good observation MFeld. The simple conclusion is that if the coin is on Ebay, then by default, it is already overpriced to the extreme.
Well, the whole thread might be just one big bit of spam......
That aside, if you want to own a textile-toned Morgan, you're going to have to pay up for it. In this case, it's a bit steep, but not ridiculously so. If you don't want to own a Morgan with this toning pattern, the asking price is undoubtedly ridiculous to you.

My opinion: No.
Nada.
To someone it probably is
Collector, occasional seller
Hard pass
Latin American Collection
No.
This one would be a lot more interesting if it was PCGS with a CAC sticker.
What textile?
No.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Why? It looks like a gorgeous coin, regardless of grade, holder or sticker.
Mark Feld* of Heritage Auctions*Unless otherwise noted, my posts here represent my personal opinions.
Uh hmmm
A very nice coin. I have seen this pattern before. Would I pay $1500.00? No, and not if it was in a PCGS slab with a CAC sticker.
Nice coin and color. Would probably bring 40% to 50% of that asking price at auction.
That's a very nice coin, but is a steep asking price. If that deeper color covered the entire obverse, then you might be in the right ballpark.
I'd be cautious with that seller, some of those images in his auctions look somewhat juicy, the pink hue background bothers me quite a bit.

Here's the color and brightness corrected OP item. Saturation and contrast not altered.
It looks nice but not $1500 nice in my opinion. Since it hasn’t sold yet, it seems a few people probably agree with me.

Good info @slider23!
This is the key phrase, "Next, create a promotable link to that page on eBay using one of the tools in your EPN account, like the Link Generator."
The link has to be created. Copy/paste from a Bay link does not have the "rover.ebay."
There used to be someone that would post "rover" links in the BST forum.
Throw out enough "stuff" and something will stick. Isn't that how advertising works?
