Someone I know has one for sale for $30. Looks to be a fair price compared to those online. I need it for my book, but not sure if I should buy it. I'm going to sleep on it tonight.

If you will enjoy it, it is worth it.

With melt at $20 and change there isn't much downside risk. Buy it, be happy. :thumbup:

You might consider it a late Christmas gift to yourself.

Thanks, guys!

I saw some different year Morgan's at a store over the weekend, and they were all $40, so I thought this one for 30 would be good.

If it has any quality at all to it $30 isn't a bad price.

I just weighed it and it weighs 26.2g. Hope that's ok since a mint one is 26.7.

The 'T' looks like it took a hit at some point over the last 100 yrs.
