Found this Morgan in a junk box at a flea market. What is it worth?

Estimate the grade and look it up in Coinfacts.

Check for VAM 20

Did they have any Saints for $200?

How are you going to return it to a flea market?

Most flea market vendors have a regular table and are there every week. That said, most in-person coin sales are final since the buyer has the opportunity to examine the coin before he buys it.

The coin looks uncirculated to me and should fetch about $35 from a dealer.

Looks cleaned…

It doesn’t look cleaned to me.

What an oddly specific number. Lol

And yes, I agree the OP should know enough to look on eBay and perhaps even grade this himself but coins with this look are hard to grade (especially from pictures).

I tried, but then someone else did the work for him. How is the OP going to learn to fish if we keep taking it off the hook for him?

I don’t see any doubling. What grade do you see? I don’t have access to grey sheet what can I sell it for to a dealer? Thanks

$30 bucks or so.

You sell slider Morgan’s for about melt?

He asked what a dealer would pay. They are going to be in the $30 to $35 range. Upstate is buying AU/Unc at $35.50

Melt is only $24

Funny an avg dealer’s buy price is exactly the same spread above your wrong valuation as the gap between it and what i said was about melt. And you focused in on which part?

My point was your guess was at least 25% under the cheapest retail and less than most educated consumers could even sell it for so not the value the OP was asking for. I know you like to post for postings sake but you should try and do better. People may mistake your prolific nature for expertise

What the hell? What exactly did I say that deserved that response?

My exact response was "$30 bucks or so" which covers that range. My valuation is accurate to the question asked. You walk into just about any BM in the country they are going to offer $30 to $35. Try it. For a single coin, they tend to offer back of wholesale bid (upstate) so they can flip them when they have quantity.

I would try to retail it at $40ish and I would buy at $30 to $35 depending on how it looked in hand, for what it's worth.

Your original response was "$40 retail" which is exactly what someone buying at "$30 bucks or so" would do. So, since we AGREE ON THE VALUATION, I return to "what the hell?"

Amazing flea market find. I've only seen badly cleaned junk.

Since I could only agree once with this post, I’m going to post it again:

I find most of these posts to be unusually, and unnecessarily rough. I know the poster’s history but he seems to be asking an honest question. Maybe people are consciously or subconsciously downgrading / lowballing the coin because of the poster. The Morgan looks about MS63 to me although I can’t rule out AU58. It doesn’t look cleaned and it certainly doesn’t look fake (the $5 purchase price notwithstanding). That should be worth at least $50-$70 retail and would make a nice album coin. It’s not an easy sell for a dealer so maybe they would only pay $35-40 but a collector would likely pay more.

And yes, I agree the OP should know enough to look on eBay and perhaps even grade this himself but coins with this look are hard to grade (especially from pictures).

If the seller was that ignorant, you should have offered him $4

Looks like a lovely honest original uncleaned unc Morgan dollar to me -- given the toning and the pic the grade could be anywhere AU58 to MS63 or so. Great find given the price and the environment in which you encountered it.
