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.
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.
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.
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 similar 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. Access NGC's website HERE.
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: $325.00
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.
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.
I've owned this 80-S Prooflike Morgan for many years. It's 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 dollar 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 yours for $325 and I'll pay to ship it to you. Compare at ngccoin.com's price guide.
Nice very rare Morgan from the San Francisco mint. The 1883=S is a hard to find dollar in Mint State at all, let alone with the grade on this coin.
It is well known that the grading services "value grade" coins. This dollar could easily have been graded 64 in my view. But, again, "I need to go to grading school." If you're looking for this date, check out the photos and compare them to what's on the NGC price guide in the same grade. (or a notch higher) My price: $3000 NGC's price guide is HERE.
This date is one of the more rare dates in Mint State and, in my view you could make a good case for this coin to be a 60 or even 61.
This 1884-S has the eye appeal and the luster of a MS coin in my view. I chose not to resubmit it, but years ago I had a MS61 in this date (also ICG) and preferred this one. The person who purchased the other dollar from me sent it to NGC and it came back MS60. (I sold it to him for AU58 money) My price: $2500. Compare at ngccoin.com's price guide.
Here's one of the most rare dollars in the series. I learned fast a MS dollar in this date was out of my price range. I was fortunate to find this one.
I actually, as luck would have it, also found one I sent to ICG and it came back AU55. I preferred this one and sold that one on Ebay. Definitely, in my view, a fair grade on this dollar. My price: Just as an FYI - this date in MS60, according to NGC, is worth $44,000. My price for this one is $2000 Compare at ngccoin.com's price guide.
Colorful better date Morgan dollar in Gem condition (MS65). Another beautiful San Francisco Morgan - all original.
This 1891 dollar minted in San Francisco is a Gem dollar in a better date which, for those who like color, has that as well. The cartwheel luster shines through the toning and, if you're looking for this date for your collection, compare it to the coins NGC has listed in their price guide for this date and grade. My price: $1000. (ngccoin.com)
Nice colorful example of a dollar from the first year of the series. Rare this nice!
This 1978-S Morgan is covered in toning with rainbow colors around the rim. A nice superb gem example of the date. Check out the photos and compare to what's selling at the auctions listed on the NGC price guide. My price: $450. (ngccoin.com)
Nice original 1880-S dollar with a superb gem grade.
When I started collecting Morgans I ended up with a lot of 1880 coins. They were among the most plentiful and, to me, still the most beautiful examples. This one, is one of the toughest to find grades. My price: $750. (ngccoin.com)
Here's an all white example of a Morgan dollar which is hard to find in any uncirculated condition.
This was the first Morgan dollar I sent in to ICG and, for quite some time I didn't understand the grade, it looked like a gem to me. However, over time I realized the likely reason it was graded 64 is because it has a weak strike. Everything else to be a gem is there. My price: $950. NGC lists their value at almost $400 in MS60 and $1400 in MS64. Check out the details and compare to coins being sold on Heritage and other major auction housed at (ngccoin.com)
Anotherl better date Morgan dollar in Gem condition (MS65). This one is "bathed" in rainbow colors across the obverse.
This is another San Francisco dollar from the later years of the series which is hard to find in this condition NGC lists its value in this grade at $2000. They don't show up for sale very often as you'll see by the dates sold at NGC's price guide. My price: $1600. (ngccoin.com)
Really nice example of this slightly better date Morgan dollar.
I've listed several really nice hard to find San Francisco Morgans, including this one. Not sure if I'll sell all of them (maybe none, who knows) but I'm putting them out there in case anyone is interested. This coin in this grade is valued by NGC's price guide at $825. It more than doubles in the next grade (66) higher. My price: $700. Check out NGC's price guide here (ngccoin.com)
Really nice example of another early eighties San Francisco dollar!
NGC lists this dollar with a value of $1250. They've graded over 2000 Morgans of this date with that grade. My price for this superb gem dollar is $750.. Check out NGC's price guide here (ngccoin.com) for comparables.
