Value of Morgan silver dollars

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 12:11AM

ok, now hopefully people realize I am not the crook who stole 6 grand from one of the members on this board and I can actually have a real discussion. I have a deecent amount of Morgan coins that I was told were worth a few hundred bucks on certain ones. I was wondering if that was really true and since collectors here seem to be very picky about ebay sales, what is the best way to list them considering I am not a coin expert.
My Morgans include.
1903 "S" very good condition, not mint but very very nice.
1892, not mint condition but very good condition
1881 "O" morgan silver dollar that is in mint condition and never taken out of the case.
1900 "O" morgan silver dollar again, mint condition, never taken out of the case.
1881 Carcon City coin, not mint but very nice condition. I think it was removed from the case which is why I say not mint.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I also have a lot of older 1 dollar and 5 dollar bills or "silver certificates", are they worth anything ? All are in excellent condition and in plastic safety cases
1935 "series F" silver certificate 1 dollar bills
1928 5 dollar bill

Now, am I in possesion of anything worth selling on ebay or are they not worth anything.
Thanks in advance!

Pictures would help....

ricko · January 8, 2008 12:16AM

Pictures are required, both obverse and reverse... in order to help you. Cheers, RickO

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 12:20AM

thank you for the replies. No time yet for pics, but the ones in mint condition, a picture would prove the mint condition, say hypothetically, are they worth anything great ? when I say great I meen over $100 bucks, to me thats a lot for a coin I got for free.
I am curious if it is even worth my time to take a picture and list them if they are only going to fetch me 20 bucks.

Seriously, just assume the mint ones are truelly mint since they are, any value ??

Thanks again!

I assume you are talking about common date average condition BU Morgans. Then you are talking about the $20 area, xcept when 'bay bidder go nuts.

I agree with other posters that quality pictures get you the most for quality coins.

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 12:28AM

ok, some pics.

BAJJERFAN · January 8, 2008 12:33AM

The only tater in there would be the 03-S.

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 12:44AM

the "03-S" huh, ok, thanks! I may have to list it!

lkenefic · January 8, 2008 1:05AM

I agree... there's a big difference in an 03-S between VG and even XF... pics would be very helpful...L

Wolf359 · January 8, 2008 1:30AM

<< the "03-S" huh, ok, thanks! I may have to list it! >>

Again we need photos. It could be a VF coin with severe problems worth $20 or an AU50 worth > $1500 in a PCGS holder.

DennisH · January 8, 2008 1:45AM

The 1881-CC is worth $350 in VG alone.

Of course it's only worth $450 in Mint State 60, but the point is it's a valuable coin no matter what.

What do you mean by "Never taken out of the case?" What kind of cases are you talking about?

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 2:06AM

the coin is in a plastic sealed case, its flexible plastic but it is a rectangle shape, tall, and has an circle about the size of the coin in the middle and the coin is inside of that. It seems to be sealed good to as the coin does not move around. Its almost like the holder was meant for the coin to be in, on the top there is an area that looks like you could insert a piece of paper, maybe to label it ?? But mine does not have anything in that.

anablep · January 8, 2008 9:02AM

Please post pictures when you get the chance...

You'll get a lot more productive responses.

Sounds like a PVC soft flip.

Does it say Carson City at the top and uncirculated silver dollar or just silver dollar at the bottom

Coxe · January 8, 2008 10:21AM

The '85-CC and '03-S are very desirable in lower grades, particularly in the lowest of grades. Additionally, some of those circulation rarieties may not have been represented at all in terms of die varieties in the Treasury release. That is potentially a huge area that only a few of us I know of are ven looking. The problem? We cannot get out hands on enough true circulation examples with enough detail to differentiate them from known VAMs.

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 10:25AM

There is a Carson City labeled on the case, and a CC on the coin.
I've got some great bids for the Morgans, and they were the ones I didn't think would do well! The Carson City one really seamed to get the most attention. Man, this gift of a coin collection that I thought was ok is turing out to be great, one person offered me a price to end the auction early which I might do just to pick up his offer, its pretty large for a Morgan, maybe the Carson City's are that valuable ??? Who cares, I just wanna see the money, show me the money !!!

I wouldn't end it early. There are some weasels out there. You might be selling way cheap. Should have seen the people trying that on an 88-O VAM-7A last week. The seller posted their solicitations in additional comments. Was a riot seeing how they were trying to scoop the rarity up in the background. Here is the eBay lot. The first guy saying he was going out of town must have not been pleased seeing it posted in the description. I need that one but didn't bid it. It is among the ones I want to hunt down.

jpo1965 · January 8, 2008 10:32AM

Does the case look like this?

fc · January 8, 2008 10:35AM

i will buy all the morgan dollars you have at 13 bucks each!
standing offer.

jimbo2008 · January 8, 2008 10:39AM

at another 2 zero's to it and you are a bit higher than what I just sold it for! Under a grand but close enough, and no ebay fee's !!! Gotta love it!
AND, with paypal, so I can see my cash in right away, reputable seller, can't beet it!
But hey, don't believe me, you all are busy seting up other people's auctions so I don't want to take the time away from that!

You can use this as a general guide to value.

Man, are you bi-polar or something? One minute you're like a raving lunatic, next you got people conversing with you like you're normal.

Ron Paul sure had a rough one today, huh? He's done.

Evidence please.

BTW, what happened to your bragging thread?

What user ID are you scamming with now?

BTW, beets are a vegetable........... sheeeeeesh.

This jerk is maing my head hurt.

He's just so full of it.

What was the date on the GSA Morgan? The price you talk about doesn't really fit. They are usually a lot less or a lot more.

Maybe you just got taken to the cleaners.

There's a part of me that hopes you actually sold a '79 CC GSA for 15% of it's value.

Actually, we'd rather find out just how full of chit you are and if you are the scammer that ripped off a board member before you get bammed once and for all.

Hey Jimmy-

do you by chance have a fe cousins that go by the name of Smith?

you are a fool and those that suck into this clown he has fooled you as well.

oxy8890 · January 8, 2008 1:08PM

Jimbo,
First, I must start by saying that it is people like yourself that keep me away from owning a brick and mortar shop.

First you say:

Now, am I in possesion of anything worth selling on ebay or are they not worth anything?

Then we said:

Pictures are required, both obverse and reverse... in order to help you. Cheers, RickO

Then you said:

I am curious if it is even worth my time to take a picture and list them if they are only going to fetch me 20 bucks.

Now I'm saying:

DUDE IT'S NOT WORTH OUR TIME TO HELP YOU IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE!!!! THE ONLY WAY WE CAN TELL IS IF YOU POST PICTURES!! WITHOUT PICTURES YOU ARE INSULTING US AND WASTING OUR TIME! WHAT PORTION OF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE YOU A BALL PARK IDEA WITHOUT SEEING THEM IS CONFUSING YOU!?!?!

I will tell you this, just because it's "out of the holder" does not mean it isn't uncirculated. All the more reason we need pictures before we can help you.

Are you getting the picture yet.

pharmer · January 8, 2008 1:25PM
