CHOICE AU 1884-O SILVER DOLLAR CRISP AND SILVERY WHITE Here's a very sharp 1884-O Morgan with top eye appeal. It has been scanned, not photographed. Scans tell you the information you need about a coin...the details, the flaws, the good points and so on. A photograph won't show the coin's true condition. All my listings include scans - so you know exactly what you are bidding on or buying. You get a good view of each side....and can therefore make an informed decision on whether the coin fits your collecting needs. The coin shows only a modest bit of circulation, with bold hairlines and a touch of chest feathering on the eagle. The fields are outstanding as are the rims. It has an attractive look, with most of the original luster and a silvery white color; this Morgan's surfaces are natural....never cleaned or polished....and that adds value. Note the tone spot on the reverse, mentioned for the sake of accuracy. Silver's had a huge surge in price since the start of the year. What will happen in the remainder of 2011 ? There's little standing in the way of more upside this year. Inventories in both the industrial market and the investor market have become quite tight. There are lots of people realizing that the government is going to print away and spend until the dollar falls far below current levels. It's the only way they can manage the massive debt...monetize it away. A few brief words of wisdom for all the many new Morgan collectors:1. get a good look at any coin you're considering placing a bid on; pass on any item you are suspicious of (such as a Morgan shipped from China; that's the source of most fakes). In fact, don't ever buy a silver dollar that's shipped from China. Period. 2. avoid buying a Morgan in a holder that isn't graded by a top service; otherwise you won't be able to sell it one day. Don't let the high grade on the suspect holder fool you into thinking it's anything other than a polished AU/XF because that's almost always what it is and the line about it being a BU/MS/UNC/GEM/ESTATE is an attempt to deceive you into overpaying. If you don't think I'm right then join PCGS or NGC and send the coins to them for reholdering. I assure you they will come back as cleaned; NGC will note such on the holder and says it has AU or XF details and PCGS will just put it in a "Genuine" slab (a coin guaranteed cleaned). Only buy certified coins that were graded by PCGS and NGC; if a seller on here cons you into buying a pig with lipstick on it then there's nobody to blame but yourself. 3. don't overpay for shipping; in fact get it sent free where possible and all other things are equal; you'll wind up with more coins in your collection. 4. never polish your coins; don't clean them or alter the surface; treat every coin with respect and careful handling. Don't dip them in anything or apply any type of paste, polish or solution to them. 5. Don't waste your effort on copy coins or replicas; collecting them is a waste of time and money. Nobody wants or buys (or will ever want to buy) a Morgan that isn't really a Morgan. Finally, accumulate all the Morgans your coin budget allows. Over the coming years, we're going to see silver soar in value. It's up five-fold in the past decade but the show is just the beginning. The day will come when silver is so high and silver dollars are in such demand that they are cost prohibitive (which is the time to sound the alarm and do some selling) but until then add to your Morgan holdings while you can still do so affordably . A sharp AU Morgan like this can increase way above your original cost in this auction. Check my other silver dollars up over the next few days and even into next week; you'll find a wide variety here each and every week and my policy is FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ! Some sellers charge $3 - $5 to ship you one raw coin. Why pay that kind of money ? Anything from me ships quickly - first class and either the day of or the day after payment. See comments...
