Would You Buy Morgans?

With silver near $16.50/oz would you buy morgans now? Yes I know it depends on the price, but at what price would you consider to buy at...if at all?

I love morgans and might have a chance to buy some around $11-$12 each.
Yes they're just melt morgans.

  • There's $12.70 in Silver, at $11 or $12 I'd say buy...

    Silver is due for a bump in my opinion...

    I know what I'd be buying if I was in the States right now.

    Newly graded MS65 Morgans by PCGS only.

    Not only are the prices depressed but these new ms65's being graded by PCGS are MS66's a couple of years ago.

    You win on both sides (price and quality) as both are due to appreciate.

    Although I understand the point of your question...the price of silver would be irrelevant to me if I wanted to buy Morgan Dollars. I'd buy the coin because of its value as a collectable - rarity, history, condition, etc - not for its silver content.

    That said, if you can buy low and sell high then, obviously, you should go for it.

    I would. I would like to have about 100 of the circ morgans just to show and for conversation.

    Yes I agree and I buy morgans for the reasons you stated. The silver content is a bonus to me. But it's always nice to know they hold their value in silver too.

    Earlier last year I bought 35 or so morgans when silver was $8/oz, but I can never have enough especially if the price is right.

    Blu62vette I love looking/show and tell with the morgans. When I was young my grandfather had a couple bags of morgans he saved from the early 1900s. Maybe 50-100. I've loved them ever since then when he showed them to me, but he sold them in the early 80s when silver shot through the roof and now I can't get enough. I know it's bad.
