1879-S MS67PL Morgan Dollar

This is a very beautiful MS67 Prooflike example of one of the more beautiful of the Morgans in the series.  During the first few years the San Francisco Mint produced some of the most attractive coins, to me, ever.  

This coin is a fine example of the details in the strike and the beauty of the luster in these old coins.  Remember, this dollar is over 140 years old.  I have no idea where it's been - probably spent close to 80 years in a bag at the mint - I've just enjoyed having it in my collection of the past several years.  (I think I purchased it around 10 years ago)  NGC (ngccoin.com) lists the value of this coin in this grade at $1800.00. The last one in this date and grade at Heritage's auctions was sold around 5 years ago.  According to NGC's Price Guide they've only graded 7 higher.  Naturally, this coin is not in a NGC holder so you'll have to decide what you think of the grade.  My price: $1250.  (There's a "line" on the holder which I believe was something external when I took the photos. I'll try to remember to update the photos once I manage to take more pictures of coins.  I have many other Morgans which may or may not get listed here.)

 

 

1880-S MS66+PL Morgan Dollar

Here is a nice 1880-S Prooflike Morgan Dollar certified by ICG into a MS66+ holder.  As usual with the early San Francisco coins the strike is superb and the cartwheel luster is impeccable..

The price for this dollar in this grade on NGC's Price guide (ngccoin.com) is listed as $800.  There aren't too many examples selling in the large auctions over the past few years, but based on what I've seen I'm listing this dollar at $600.  The best way to pay for one of my coins is via PayPal.  If interested click on the link above and you'll be taken to the "shop" where you can complete your purchase.  I'll send the coin to you and you'll have 14 days to return it if for some reason you are unhappy with it once you get it in hand.  The coin must be returned in the same condition you receive it and you pay for the return postage.

 

 

1878-S MS64PL Morgan Dollar

Here's a prooflike dollar from the first year of the series minted in San Francisco and encapsulated into a MS64PL holder by NGC. I've had this coin for many years and am now offering it for sale here on my new website.

NGC lists the value of this dollar in its price guide (ngccoin.com) at $275 but every coin listed that has sold in the last year or so has gone for over $300.  My price $300.

1880-S MS65 Morgan Dollar

This dollar is one of the reasons I chose not to send any more coins to NGC. I thought it should grade as a 66, but, as usual, I was wrong.  That said, compare it to other coins and this is an opportunity to get a really nice "common date" Morgan for a reasonable price.  Would make a great Christmas gift.

I sent this coin into NGC well before I ever sent a coin to ICG.  I was not happy with the grades from NGC so I broke about 6 out of their holders and sent them to ICG with the idea they would get the "correct" grade.  Every one of them came back from ICG with the identical grade which were on the NGC holders.  That's when I decided to send my coins into ICG simply because it was a bit cheaper and, therefore, my frustration would not cost as much.  When I complained to ICG one of their graders said, "You need to go to grading school."  (Which I would have loved to do had it been an option back then - of course, I had no idea where you'd go)  I learned to grade coins myself according to what I've learned over the years - and, I recommend you do the same.  Thanks for looking and, my price: $200.

1880-S MS66 Morgan Dollar

Here's another of the 1880-S Morgan dollars, this one encapsulated into a MS66 holder by NGC.  This holder is pre the new NGC holders which attempt to give the viewer a better look at the rim.  To me, you can see all you need to see in this holder (I actually like the older ones better)

I've put a couple NGC graded dollars in my original listings on this site in case you need to be able to compare them to the ICG coins I have listed.  This coin's value is listed on ngccoin.com at $335.  My price: $300.00

1882-S MS66+PL Morgan Dollar

This 1882 Morgan dollar from the San Francisco mint has been encapsulated into a MS66+ holder by ICG.  Kind of a copper toned obverse with outstanding cartwheel luster and, as usual for one of the earliest San Francisco coins and amazing strike.

According to NGC in this grade and date the coin is worth $700 and the last example at Heritage auctions was in 2017.  You can compare these photos with the coins sold at the top auction houses HERE.  If you're interested my price for this coin is $600.  Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.  As with all my coins I pay for the shipping if you choose to purchase it.

1879-S MS66 Morgan Dollar

This 1879 Morgan from the San Francisco Mint is a prime example of the early coins in the series.  To me, this is a very solid 66.

NGC values this dollar at $350.  That's the same amount as I value it.  You can compare this coin on NGC's price guide or on Ebay as this is, again, what I call an uncommon example of a common date Morgan. Price: $350.

1880-S MS65PL Morgan Dollar

I've owned this 80-S Prooflike Morgan for many years.  I prime example of a date many consider to be the most spectacular in the series. (Remember, this coin was minted over 140 years ago)

This coin is in what's termed as an "old fat slab."  It's a gem graded prooflike and I like this coin a lot.  For years I've considered resubmitting this dollar, but it never happened and I've no intention of doing so at this late date in my life.  It can by your for $300 and I'll pay to ship it to you.  Compare at ngccoin.com's price guide.
