I bought one Morgan dollar at auction this evening. I didn't get a noteworthy price - $30 + 15%, but I'm at least happy with the coin's appearance. Many of these circulated coins are so timeworn that the details can't even be seen. Not so in this case. Just look at Lady Liberty's hair and the crispness of the print...

Morgan dollars are pretty low in silver content... just 77% silver as I recall. So if I only valued the coin for its metal, I lost money on the purchase. It's probably worth $28. But it's sure purdy...

Tonight's auction didn't go too well, but we did win several of the lesser lots we'd marked. In particular, a nice little space heater for $4, a nice little wet dry vac for $6, and a hideous little Keurig coffee maker for $10. My wife's Keurig died a few days ago and, well, she's gotta have her coffee. This one may be ugly, but it should last until Christmas and now I know what to buy. Thank God she isn't a nitpicky perfectionist about her kitchen, unlike SOMEONE I could name... Smile
