Wish I had a few hundred grand...

Anybody want to loan me a few bucks...

I wish I had a few hundred grand, too, but you can bet if I did, I wouldn't spend it on no stinkin' Morgan dollar!

I'd buy a house.

(Although if you have to drop a big chunk of change on a small, round piece of metal, I suppose that's as good a candidate as any. I would want better luster with an MS65, however, since we're talkin' hypothetically, anyway. Still an impressive coin, though.)

The funny thing about that auction is it's only at $3,000+ now with 4 bidders. That means that 3 bidders actually bid less than that! Boy, I like to get some of what they are smoking.

I'd spend it on copper!

It's very strange. I mean they have a coin of that caliber in an Exclusively Internet auction and with no description. Seems very odd.

Would like a few hundred thousand dollars myself.

Only some of it would go to coins.

Come on it is only a morgan!

Isn't it funny how that little tiny S on the reverse weighing less than a gnats wings can make the coin cost so much?

...lol... I placed a 2K bid on that coin. Yah, I know that's no where near what it'd sell for, but now I can say I placed a bid on a MS65 93-S. ...not that that means anything.

Exactly what I was thinking. Although, what would they say? "This coin is so dull and lifeless we're amazed it graded gem."?

I remember seeing Legend's PCGS MS-65 1893S $1 in Charlotte. It was cool to see, that's for sure. And expensivo!

I'll agree with that as well. That has to be one of the most expensive coins I have seen listed on the Exclusive internet auction.
To me, it looks like a dog for a 65.

LincolnCentMan - what a woose! up your bid to $20K, you never know . . .

(Just to show ya, I bid $400,000 on the 1870-S $3 in the Eliasberg sale in 1982 - (Fortunately, at lot of other people bid a lot more than me)

I would buy one that looks the same but with a slightly different date for about $75 and spend the rest on 50 ft yacht.

"BEWARE" of coins on "any" internet auction that doesn't give a description on a high dollar coin..... That is usually a good sign that it is low end for the grade, are has other problems!!!IMO

Wish I had a few hundred grand...
