Good Deal for morgans?

[starkizzle]

So i have a response to a craigslist ad to buy coins, and after negotiations I'm looking at 50 mixxed date morgons in ok condition for 19$ each, assuming they are real would you buy them? I'm think of re selling them on ebay. . I've sold morgans on ebay for like 32$ +shipping. on average, so after fees its like 28-29$ a morgan...
any thoughts?

They weighed up non magnetic, and melted ice just as fast as my other morgans.... looks like it may be a case of luck

And when i put them on ebay u can check them out

Uh oh. Could be trouble with this one. Get them checked by professional ASAP and be ready to get the law involved if needed. Let the guy know you want to buy more and set up another meeting. How about some close-ups of the CC coins.

My thoughts... pretty good if they are fake.. i do want to believe that they've been in a closet for awhile but we will see

So real quick, looks like the guys girlfriends grandfather left her a bunch of coins..... plan on getting more... need to get them checked out but put of 60 morgans i have 4 1889 cc!!!

I believe in luck but that's too good to be luck. I can understand one Carson City Morgan being in the pile but not so sure about 4, and all the same year. I sure hope they are real.

These are my thoughts exactly-
Im hoping for best for ya but man China is gettin ng real good at faking and to have 4 rarer date CC's in 1 group and to be selling them for $19 WAY too many redflags go up- id also get them checked by professional and then set up another meeting with authorities if they come back fake

Also - if they are real - you really want to set up another meeting with him. That would be the deal of the century especially if they are not culls and not stolen merchandise. These would be worth major money. Hey stranger things have happened...

This sounds better and more interesting than a classic episode of Pawn Stars lol. I sure hope an expert can confirm they are for real. This would sure be an amazing score! Good luck!

I hope you got the real deal. Stranger things have happened.

Well you might as well post some decent photos of them so we can all see them. You will likely get your answer quicker from better experts than the local pawn shop. A thread like this is going to quickly be forwarded to the PCGS list where the best experts in the country hang out. They see this stuff all the time and know what to look for.

From the pics they look real to me. And you got a 1893 also? That one has about the same value as my 1899. Also, if someone was trying to sell some better date counterfeit Morgans worth hundreds each why would they only be asking about $19 each? That doesn't make any sense. You may have hit the jackpot on this one. I sure hope so, good luck!
