Hello everyone, I attended a local coin auction a couple of weeks ago and thought I would share with everyone the prices that were paid. The coins were graded by someone not affiliated with the auction (so we were told). This was their third auction this year and I had a great time. Can't wait until the next one. Couple of these have no prices. I was to slow or they were to fast moving on to the next coin for me to write down the amount.... 1. 1857 Flying Eagle (VF) $25.00 2. 1858 Flying Eagle (VF) $20.00 3. 1848 Large Cent (VF) $30.00 4. 1909 VDB Lincoln Penny (AU) $7.50 5. 1864 Two Cent Piece (AU58) $35.00 6. 1942 Mercury Dime (MS65) $7.50 7. 1944 Mercury Dime (MS65) $7.00 8. 1856 Seated Liberty Quarter (MS61) $90.00 9. 1822 Bust Half (EF) $130.00 10. 1826 Bust Half (EF) $130.00 11. 1839 Bust Half (EF) $100.00 12. 1858 Seated Liberty Half (VF) $40.00 13. 1938 D Walking Liberty Half (AU50) $105.00 14. 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $40.00 15. 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64) $55.00 16. 1885 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $65.00 17. 1885 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $65.00 18. 1886 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64) $60.00 19. 1887 S Morgan Silver Dollar Tor (MS63) $125.00 20. 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $65.00 21. 1898 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64) $50.00 22. 1892 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $60.00 23. 1901 Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $40.00 24. 1904 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $60.00 25. 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar DTF (MS64PL) $80.00 26. 1880 S Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64DMPL) $150.00 27. 1880 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) $70.00 28. 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $40.00 29. 1883 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $35.00 30. 1883 S Morgan Silver Dollar (AU58) $100.00 31. 1884 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $35.00 32. 1885 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64) $75.00 33. 1885 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $35.00 34. 1886 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS64) $50.00 35. 1887 S Morgan Silver Dollar Tor (MS63) $70.00 36. 1888 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) $45.00 37. 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $35.00 38. 1889 O Morgan Silver Dollar (AU55) $50.00 39. 1890 S Morgan Silver Dollar TOR (MS63) $75.00 40. 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $40.00 41. 1891 S Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63DMPL) $100.00 42. 1892 O Morgan silver Dollar (AU50) $50.00 43. 1892 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS60) $100.00 44. 1892 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $50.00 45. 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) 46. 1898 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) $45.00 47. 1898 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $50.00 48. 1899 S Morgan Silver Dollar (F) $35.00 49. 1899 O Morgan Silver Dollar (MS60) $50.00 50. 1901 Morgan Silver Dollar (AU50) $130.00 51. 1901 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $55.00 52. 1903 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $90.00 53. 1904 S Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $80.00 54. 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $60.00 55. 1924 S Peace Silver Dollar (MS62) $90.00 56. 1884 S Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) $200.00 57. 1886 S Morgan Silver Dollar (MS62) $200.00 58. 1887 S Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $100.00 59. 1888 S Morgan Silver Dollar (AU58) $120.00 60. 1889 CC Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $650.00 61. 1890 CC Morgan Silver Dollar (AU50) $100.00 62. 1893 O Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $100.00 63. 1893 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $475.00 64. 1893 O Morgan Silver Dollar (VF) $100.00 65. 1895 O Morgan Silver Dollar (AU50) $350.00 66. 1895 S Morgan Silver Dollar (EF) $450.00 67. 1894 Morgan Silver Dollar (MS63) $340.00 68. 1921 Peace Silver Dollar (MS62) $130.00 69. 1853 2 ½ Dollar Gold Piece (UNC) $350.00 70. 1914 2 ½ Dollar Gold Piece (UNC) $500.00 71. 1915 2 ½ Dollar Gold Piece (UNC) $425.00 72. 1900 5 Dollar Gold Piece (MS63) $450.00 73.

I would like to see some pictures of the coins to see if the grading was close. A few of the prices look reasonable, but only if the grade was as posted.
Here is #91 the 1854 Seated Half. They had it graded as VF/XF. Also #110 a 1885 Morgan that was graded MS63. These were the only ones I was able to buy. The Seated Half is my first. Think I overpaid just a bit but I do like the coin. #15 (no picture) was also a 1885 Morgan graded as MS64 that sold for $55. Comparing #15 and #110 before the auction I thought that #110 was a much nicer coin.
I do not think is XF - I think F maybe at best VF. Not an expert on those. As for overpaying - if you are happy with the coins then you did not overpay. I think the Morgan grade is pretty accurate - it looks like it is in the 63 range. Nice coins by the way. I like seated coinage also, but I do not have any halves yet.
agree, the grading is loose. I don't see a full Liberty on the half, which you kinda sorta need for a Fine ( or at least used to), so F-12 is a stretch,IMO. This sounds awfully cheap: 8. 1856 Seated Liberty Quarter (MS61) $90.00
