Holy Cow I held an 1893s morgan today !!

I stopped by the coin shop and poked through the bargain basket, I'm chatting away with the owner and he starts chnging some items around in his cases. had some really nice items to put out. After a few minutes, he says "hang on i want to show you this coin" he said "I've been doing this 50 years and never had or held one of these until today So I wanted you to" 1893s Morgan. He is sending it off Were thinking it will come back either g-8 or vf not sure which. said hes keeping it . Not for sale. I like having the opportunity to see and hold these things I can't afford.
I remeber I went to a high end baseball auction. They had Babe ruth and Lou Gherig items. Signed balls game used bats and gloves (all signed and authenticated). I went just to see and hold them and took a picture. pretty cool stuff.

    I can't imagine a coin shop owner not haveing a 93-s come across his hands in 50 years. That seems pretty small potatoes to me, especially since the price hasn't really jumped until recently.

    Oh, I forgot, I asked him where he got it, Said a customer walked in with it and "My eyes lit up". He said He told the customer he had a valuable coin and they made a deal(wouldn't tell me how much) but after talking with him over the last year or so he seems very honest and I'm sure a fair price was paid.
