Ungraded 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar, accepting BTC or other coins

[timk225]

I have had this coin for a few years now, but never got around to getting it graded.  It's graded value can be anywhere from several thousand dollars to $15K plus, but I'm no coin expert.  I got it via inheritance.

It's an 1893 S Morgan silver dollar.

I would like to get 2.5 BTC for it, or the equivalent of 2.5 BTC in another coin, such as Litecoin, or Darkcoin, that I could then swap for BTC on an exchange.  

I have been mining coins for over a year, and while it has been fun, at least when I win on a deal, I think I'd like to go more on the investing side.  Buying and holding, then selling.  This requires start up capital, which is why I want to sell this coin.

PM me with any questions or offers.

This is a very Nice Replica. Chinese made. If you spend the $40 to have it graded you will see when they confiscate it. A rare coin like this one in this condition would be over $10,000    It makes a nice conversation piece.

Can you tell it's a replica by looking at it or are you assuming based on the condition? I have a few similar coins with equal amount of wear (very little) but more patina.

I acquired mine 20 years ago.

I have reason to believe that this is pure speculation, even darkcoin payment accepted

Same Pictures from this ebay listing - be careful sending any payment unless you can prove they are the the same seller.  Most likely not considering the story posted in this listing is not a Coin Store.

if a deal sounds too good to be true....

could be worth several thousand to 15k+ if I spent a few $ getting it graded but I wont and will take 2.5BTC for it 

Scam written all over it.

 Arrows 1-4 show an extra amount of ridges Arrow #1 is a good example of a pored die. Notice Arrow #5 starts back smooth like a normal ridge would be.   This is chinese made and simply putting it on a scale would show the weight is not accurate.

No one would sell a $10,000 ungraded coin for $1,500 in BTC I would be able to make a fortune off this coin if it were real.

Yes this is the exact same coin on Ebay same poured die with Extra ridges.

I'm not sure if he knows it's fake or not.  But he has it listed on ebay too.

I went ahead and tried to report it on ebay as a fake coin - not sure ebay will act on it to save some pour informed person from buying a fake coin...  Thanks for the analysis of the pictures.  

If the OP is not the one selling on ebay, they picked a crappy image to based their scam off of

I just noticed the pitting marks on the Eagles chest same exact marks on the Ebay listing.

Of course he knows it a fake, otherwise you would grade it and sell for 10X the asking price.

Another possibility is that the Op borrowed the pics from Ebay and doesn't even have the coin.

Wow, I never knew we had so many numismatic experts here!  I just Copy and Pasted the photos from ebay as it is the same type of coin as mine, and no photos I was able to take with my iphone came out very well, there were always shadows in it somewhere.

That's not my ebay auction.

I could try again later to take better photos, maybe outside in shaded daylight so it looks more even for light and dark areas.

And if anyone feels I am selling it too cheaply, I will be happy to accept more for it!  I figured I'd price it at a level where even if it comes out low on the grading scale, the buyer doesn't lose money on it.

RedGummyBear - L2Spell.  "poured" has a letter "u" in it.  You wrote "pored".

Djjacket - you L2Spell too.  In your case, "pour" should be "poor".

So you are trying to sell a coin...but used a random eBay picture?  I would recommend escrow big time if you trade with this guy...This looks scammy as hell.

[timk225]

An 1893 coin is an 1893 coin, how many differences can there be?

I just looked at a few new quarters in my car's change tray, they look pretty much the same to me.

[Blazed]

None all coins are the same...condition makes no differences.   

[markj113]

quiet naive considering these coins could be worth up to 15k as you stated in your first post.

So a pic of the actual coin is pretty important.

No one is that dumb... coin collector or not.
