Hi guy's, went a hunting today. "Silly wabbit". Lol. Morgans this time. This coin looks a lot better in hand! By my bad photo's, do you guy's think this is worth the price tag? It has color and a PL potential. Not bad for a Phillie. Thanks for any reply. :)

    Didn't buy it, just asking. Lol
    Thanks for the quick reply though.
    I'll take that for a "NO". :)

    No - Pass / if he started it in auction at 99c don’t think it would even get bid up to $30. From the photo would not call it rainbow.

    Dull looking, spot on obv.

    If the last two pictures are more indicative of the actual condition of the coin, I could see it graded (technically) as choice (MS63 C), but the eye appeal is severely lacking, IMO. There's a carbon spot under Liberty's eye, and the entire coin kind of looks like it's been residing in clay. I also don't see the rainbow the dealer is advertising. My opinion could change if the pictures or the surface contaminants are hiding further marks and hair lines. As it sits, $100 seems steep to me. PCGS price guide (high retail) is $80. I agree with Cougar. If it bid up to $30 dollars, the seller would be lucky.

    Definitely not... That coin is way overpriced. The dealer is trying to hype the tarnish IMO... I agree with others, a $30 coin at best...Cheers, RickO

    That is neutral toning, nowhere close to rainbow. I don't see PL potential.
    To be fair, at least it's not an 80-S. I think some missed that.
    For $100 raw it would have to be a solid 64 with nice toning, that's about what graded examples seem to auction for.

    Closer to $70 - those are for PCGS coins. Not outright highway robbery, but not something I would be excited to own.

    Right that was my point, if a graded 64 sells for about $100, why spend that on a raw one that has neutral toning and looks like a 63?

    To others-
    It's certainly more than a $30 coin, you can't even find BU 81-S' for that that I am aware of.

    They were talking about eBay bids. I'd be willing to bet they are closer than you think. Even for the 1880, I don't imagine you get to $40 on an eBay auction.

    But I thought eBay was the greatest venue EVER! I think I could do better than $40 on Instagram for it and not have to pay FeeBay to boot.

    "eBay is the greatest online venue ever... Just expect low prices and then pay eBay a huge cut."

    I fixed it for you. This is the most tepid endorsement of a coin venue I have ever heard.
