Question
I'm just starting buying coins, and I'm starting small. Until I get ahold of a Red Book or Grey Sheet for myself, can you tell me what I should pay for the following two Morgans?: 1879-S and 1883-O, both PCGS MS-64. Thanks!!

Answer
Tiffany,

Fair prices for accurately graded PCGS coins would be :

1879-S -- $58.00

1883-O -- $58.00

These are both relatively common date coins.


BTW you can get a free sample copy of the greysheets here :

And you can buy a copy of the current Redbook here :

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
