Buying BU Morgan Silver dollars from Apmex
Vložit

- I wanted to see what I would get if I ordered coins through Apmex. These are supposed to be BU (brilliant uncirculated) and from the years 1878-1904 only. Let’s see how it turned out!
Also watch until the end for the announcement!

Educational intro first with some examples and the certain grading 👍 You're right, still superb to behold after that many years. Okay, interesting what you're saying at the end that you can better buy them slabbed. Ghehee... instagram. Only CZcams until now. Have a great day, thanks for the show and till the next one !
silver.international Glad you liked it, hopefully it helps people who don’t think about the grading part. Gorgeous coins, I think everyone should own atleast one of these beauties. Yeah check out their website, for 42.99 you can own an ms63.
Thanks for watching!🤝
Also instagram is pretty cool, definitely think about it. Lots of people trade coins on there.👍
@@coinsilverjourney3581 It was very informative with you comparing the coins (or their grade) to the book and your own analysis ! End of this year I'll certainly have a Morgan Dollar in my collection :) They're indeed affordable. Maybe it is indeed a good advice about Instagram, will think about that but quite busy at the moment :) Take care and to the next video !
Great show and smart investment! 5 ⭐️!!!!!!’s
Buying from Ampex you will never get a key date unless they order it and you won't get ms65 coins. You will get ms60-ms62 for their BU coins.
Correct. There is nothing "random" about their random coins. They should be classified as the most common and low value that they can find that fall into whatever category.
Morgan dollars are common in BU condition despite being over 100+ years old. That's because these coins rarely circulated. Most were stored in bank vaults for several decades. Morgan dollars served as bullion to back the value of silver certificates. Most people prefer to carry silver certificates rather than the actual coin. After all Morgan dollars are bulky, heavy coins.
MrMonkeySwag96 Very good information! Yeah we are all very lucky to be able to own coins over a 100 years old that look this good.
Got a couple that are definitely not BU. Of course they were only a dollar each when I got them.
I read that Morgan dollars well circulated out west in states like California, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii into the 1960s or 1970s and were preferred over paper dollar bills.
Love those morgans! Congrats on the subs!!!
You did well on this buy if you still have them. Looking at Apex right now this same coin in BU using CC/PayPal is $61.45. Nice buy man. Just found your CZcams and I'm enjoying it.
There are only a few things better than Morgan dollars. Thanks for sharing!
congratulations on reaching 100!
These coins are impressive! Congratulaions!
fgss77 Thank you, glad you enjoyed them!🤝
Great Morgans, love stacking them. I have bought a few BU Morgans from Apmex, and was somewhat disappointed in the condition. I took a couple to my LCS and the owner said they weren't BU. But anyway, it is awesome to get over a century old coins in great shape.
halfmoonblu yeah 2 out of the 3 were borderline AU in my opinion. It’s definitely a gamble when you order online, but i agree it’s amazing we can find them in such great shape. Thanks for watching!!🤝🤝
Very cool. Thank you for the information on grading.
I got my first Morgan from apmex. I like the history of it..
I am making a comment but letting the video runt ill the end. those are some beautiful coins, i may have to try apmex out now that I have seen them and honestly rated. Thanks my friend for taking the time to point out things honestly ... I hardly ever see educational vids so thank you for that
Tennessee Wendy Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment multiple videos! I try my best, thanks again!🤝
congrats on 100!
I love visiting my LCS! its like Christmas morning but it costs you money :D
always liked the Morgans, thanks for showing.
Definitely a cool coin, and an affordable one to get in great condition. Thanks for watching!👍🤝
Nice vid. Great look at grading examples.
Stacker 2020 thank you!🤝 luckily I had a variety of Morgan’s laying around.
I love to stack Morgans, used to be high grade slabbed...now low grade cullish for silver content with a hint of numis value
Great looking coins!
Thanks for the video! Subbed ya! I learned quit a bit! Best of luck & HH!
DugMoney Detecting I appreciate the sub! I have already done the same.
Glad I could help, thanks for tuning in. 👍🤝
Nice Apmex pick up! I have yet to purchase a Morgan Silver Dollar but you might have inspired me to purchase a few. As of late I’ve been buying the 2020 coins to add to my graded series collections. Thank you for the video and great content. Take care.
Always glad to see you in the comments ScorpMusic ! 🤝
Maybe you will have better luck than me. That’s great, always good to start the collections early, thanks for watching.
Love the info and Morgan's
That Morgan was beautiful!!!!
That's a nice collection man
Nice APMEX pickups!
Nice Morgans. 200 subs incoming
I recently bought some Morgan’s from APMEX when they where on sale from them. I agree the Morgans are close borderline to BU but not BU. but still not back Morgan’s from them. Keep stacking have fun at love Morgan dollars.
Steve Looking For Silver Yeah these are beautiful coins, but they definitely dance the line of AU and BU. Thanks for the comment!
Liked and subscribed fam!
Great haul bud. I believe, looking at what's going on right now in the world, if I was a new stacker, I'd go for weight. Until I reach 500oz. Then have fun.
I am gunning for Constitutional coins this year. They are being melted in larger quantities than we think. They'll go up in value. So, here in Canada, I don't have the choice you have in the US. So what I find, at a good price, I buy. BTW, whichever Morgan you buy, you can't go wrong. Who doesn't love a Morgan?? :-) Cheers
Fantastic!
really cool GAW!
Never used apmex but silver of any kind I’m a fan of!
Good vid. Love morgans
Nice morgan haul, im sure you'll hit 200 very soon !
CHAching If so, you are entered to win one of those lovely Morgan’s my friend!💪🍀
Thanks for sharing I sold all my coins about 8 years ago I just Stacks over now
Paul Dyche Never too late to start again! I’m sure you will have more experience this time around. Thanks for watching!👍💪
@@coinsilverjourney3581 yeah I got about 40 years experience I worked at a coin shop One Summer in 2008 and was incredibly fun
Paul Dyche I bet, would be interesting to see the other side. I’m sure you learned a lot that summer. Maybe you’ll teach me something one day.💪
I love a good Morgan! Those are all quite exceptional... Not bad!
Jayson James That is true, they are beauties!
I would rather have a Morgan than any Silver round..... Maybe a couple of exceptions but for the most part.... Nice pick ups!
Will Hornbuckle I have to agree! Hopefully we can give this one away. Thanks for commenting, and good luck!
Getting a repeat coin when you buy random year is the exact reason why I will not buy random year coins
What I understand that "brilliant uncirculated" is would be an AU-58 (if I remember right, I'm new at this). Also I snortled in Summer 2022 style at "$35 per coin." I'd be lucky to find a BU 1921 at $35 this far down the road, I'm guessing.
Love Morgan dollars. I have em slabbed and in the raw - lol. Love to hold em.
Oh boy ! Love it! Boston 😷 💪
I’ve got 5 Morgan’s most of them are XF and 1 AU but I have a really nice 1882s that is probably MS63. The back has no scratches or anything like that but the front has a couple small not very noticeable scratches.
Jacob Parker nice! Some of my favorite coins, especially when they’re in great condition.
Definitely hang on to that 1882, thanks for watching!🤝
I sure will hang on to it. Hoping to buy more Thursday because that’s when my LCS opens up.
Love Morgans!
Great review.
Beautiful Morgans sir *FS 😮💨
Not a huge fan of apmex. Their customer service is horrible at least in my experience. Those morgans look nice though. Good luck with the channel growth. Good vids.
Done with Apmex, I ordered something that was "in stock" at the time I placed my order. Four days later they over sold the product, and for some reason they were unable to fill my order for 2 more weeks.
congrats!
Morgans you can’t go wrong
I'm going to have to check apmex out.
Great vid thanks pal. I will have to buy a Morgan. I have moved onto sovereigns . But i do like themed coins and just bought the hulk etc. Plus just recieved 2020 eagle which is nice. Thinking of going into graded. Basically i am all over the joint like my life pal lol. Hey have a great day mate.
UKMHT thanks for the comment! Sometimes is fun to jump around with what you’re buying. Be careful with graded coins, remember to grade the coin itself not the slab. Good luck!🤝
@@coinsilverjourney3581 thank you for the advice my friend. Your a good man
UKMHT no problem, any time!👍
Wait there are BU Morgan’s? WTH I thought they were all circulated
Four years later and I wish I could grab BU at those prices lol
Thanks i am just learning
Aren’t we all, I hope I was helpful!
2nd one looks cleaned with that ms cleaning stuff
Love those Morgan Dollars.
jimmy joslin same here, man! Thanks for watching!👍👍
I am new to this. What is apmex? Great video!! What book is that for reference? Sorry I’m a total newbie. Love your announcement!!
Lock pickings Gal Don’t be sorry, no one knows everything. So the book is the 2020 version Redbook, which is a price guide for just about every American coin out there and more.
Apmex is a online bullion dealer, and if I’m not mistaken they are the largest. Thanks for watching!🤝👍
Coin & Silver Journey thank you for the information!!
I'm impressed...if that's APMEX ("Random BU Morgans")...I think that is impressive. Why? Bc all three (are UNC) and all three have beautiful LUSTER and EYE APPEAL. A real treat to the eyes. THAT...IS THE EXCEPTION...VS BUYING THEM ON ON-LINE AUCTIONS! Additionally, the fact that they're banged up...not an issue, as you know you're not going to get much beyond a 1 or 2 for UNC grade; nor will you get anything but common dates. Still, the fact that they have that kind of luster and eye appeal...wow! I'm really impressed. You may not realize it...but for the money paid, I think you got a superb value. Thanks for the video.
I hope you didn’t think you would get a key date. For that price you are getting extremely common dates
Yeah, I believe you’re initial reaction to the grade of the 1889-O was correct, as it certainly doesn't look Brilliant Uncirculated (B.U.) to me either. It's probably a dipped A.U.!
Roger Kinard yeah I was suspicious about that one, glad I wasn’t alone on that assumption. Thanks for watching!🤝👍
Your coins are so clean. I want to have
regardless they are beautiful pieces of history bro your own a part of American history
masterraven4 yes sir, never hurts to own atleast one of these. Thanks for watching!💪👍
Enora buena , son unas magníficas piezas esos dólar Morgan yo también tengo unos cuantos dólar Morgan y Dólar Peace en mi colección un saludo desde Málaga 😊😊☺️
Cool buddy
This video makes me want to start down the rabbit hole of morgans! Lookout everybody here I come with my $$$, which isnt much lol.
Where is the best place to get the redbook?
Michael Ruiz Hey man, doesn’t matter how much $$ you have but that you’re enjoying the hobby! I would say borders or Barnes & Noble, but since they’re probably closed Amazon will be your best bet. Good luck on your quest for Morgan’s! Thanks for watching!🤝🤝
@@coinsilverjourney3581 Hey thanks for the quick reply! Have you found the book to be fairly accurate? I see that they replace it every year and am wondering if they make an online subscription that stays up-to-date. Going to look into it. Hey thanks for making such interesting content keep it up and your subscriber base will definitely grow! People have lots of time right now to explore the inter webs and see what kind of pearls can be found
I just got into morgans because of their awesome beauty and am trying to figure out what are good prices to pay. Now I would think what you paid is a great deal. But that was a year ago..about how much is a good price range these days for coins like the ones you purchased from apmex?
Now, a good price to pay for a circulated Morgan would be $25.
That would be a deal, at my LCS for a nice BU/AU you’ll pay $35
They send common dates when you buy random year purchases. They are appealing but not super valuable.
Are the morgans worth the higher asking price over the peace bullion dollars? Just trying to fiqure out the better investment.
Dunlap Crusader yes and no, me personally I go for the cheaper option which is normally peace dollars. Morgan’s are the “cooler” option because they’re much older. If you’re just buying for weight get peace if you’re buying for collecting go Morgan. Good luck!
@@coinsilverjourney3581 Thanks Man! Your very informative. Take it easy.
awesome give away
Nice
morgans are sweet!
I have a PCGS MS-65 1882 S Morgan silver dollar, do you think it’s good to hold on to it or sell it now? & how much is it worth?
Houstros nice! Well seeing how it’s an Ms-65 it must be a pretty nice coin. I would recommend buying a “RedBook” it gives you a good idea of pricing for coins. As far as value I would say around $130-$150, so seeing how silver is $27 it won’t affect the pricing of that coin. I would say hold on to it, unless you need the cash. Thanks for the comment!
Coin & Silver Journey I will hold on to it! Thank you!
you wouldn't clean a really dirty one with silver polish?
Nope! I like how they look when they’re dirty. It shows their age. Also it makes the coin a “cull” and loses value.If you really wanted to do it, I would make sure it was a very common coin.
2 Morgan's, not bad! Think I'll try APMEX?
Good luck! I hope you get some great looking coins!
Ever get any CC's? I like them but idk if it's worth the cost.
Eric Silver Singletary This is the first time I have purchased them this way, last time was on eBay back in 2016. I think a CC is a long shot. I agree, there might be better ways to buy them, but who knows what coins you could get. Thanks for watching!🤝👍
Buying from APMEX and not knowing what coins you’ll get is at least fun to look through.
NIce coins
I pick up Morgan's from my lcs. All circulated of course but the price is right. Not that much on slabbed coins but I do have a few. I would rather pick up extra coins instead of paying higher premiums for AU coins. I'm more into stacking than collecting. Great video. Really like what your doing on your journey 👍🏻.
C & R Treasures this was more of an experiment for others, so anybody curious of buying these would know what to expect. Not typically my cup of tea, I’m with you on the stacking part.👍👍💪
1 BU Morgan I got from them turned out to be "Unc details" cleaned from NGC. They refunded my money for it.
typeviic1 Geeze! That’s unfortunate, glad they made it right. Not sure if I would ever go this route again, unless there was a sale. Thanks for the comment!👍🤝
Just bought 25 pcs in BU from APMEX for $60+. I wish I bought them at
And the price I paid were all higher than in the red book… :(
Which book is that your looking at? I need one.
Congrats again on 100 subs!
Tennessee Stacker This is the 2020 red book, I highly recommend getting one!
Also I noticed you didn’t comment on the GAW, but did the others. Make sure you do so I can put your name on the list. Also I subscribed back.🤝👍
So when apmex and JM bullion say random date Morgan’s, what they really mean is common date Morgan’s.
Lonnie Boudreaux I think they are more concerned with giving you a coin considered “BU” then common dates. Although highly unlikely to get a rare one for this price, though not impossible I imagine.
Just bought the 2019 s ERP ASE OG box an COA from APMEX for 1,800$ , with a mintage of only 30,000. Do you think this coin 🪙 will hold , rise , or drop in value? Took a beating @ APMEX when I bought the v75 privy war anniversary Silver ASE coa ogp for close to 900$ only to have that coin 🪙 drop literally the next week to 400$!
Lol. You will always get common low end bu coins when ordering these coins listed in said categorie.
entry # 3!
I think all the morgans are over graded!!! I know they shoveled and bagged them!! 60 should be the norm on most MS coins JMO!! There is some super nice ones out there, most you see are just so beatup!
When you sell these Morgans what will you be selling them as? BU,AU, or Uncirculated?
American Mutt Good question, personally I think they are all uncirculated. But the last 1889 was definitely the closest example of “BU” I received. I will be giving one of these away though!
@@coinsilverjourney3581 I had bought many from reputable dealers online till i got 100 pre-1900 Bu Morgans and imo not all hit that ms-60 mark but they all look high AU to BU . Wouldn't feel right about selling them as all BU when the day comes to cash in.
American Mutt You have a lot of experience with these coins for sure then. I’m pretty confident these were never circulated, but I don’t think they are super high grade. Definitely better than average though.
I'm new....What did you mean by "cartwheeling"?
It’s a way to describe the original mint luster. You’ll see it shine as you rotate the coin around it does a “cart wheel” kind of movement on the coin. Hope that helps clear it up a little.
@@coinsilverjourney3581 Yes...Thank you
Buying BU random date morgan and peace dollars from apmex is the only form of gambling I condone 😁
Price is good now but increases are cominf
100 subs!
NachoFreckle I know, it happened so quick!😅Excited to give back here real soon. Thanks for watching!
I love apmex!
Karen Oneil They definitely have a good selection, not much they don’t have! 👍
Love Ampex
Apmex and Jm are the only ones I buy from.
Austin's Coins as I type this, I just made an order from JmBullion. Good sales on American silver eagles! Thanks for watching!👍
@@coinsilverjourney3581 that's awesome! Keep stacking💪
200 is next!
👍
Wow this didn’t age well $38 for bu Morgan’s is great now. 2024 being silver is at $29 a oz now and bu random date Morgan’s through those dates are $63 wholesale a piece 😂😂😂😂💯 you won if you still have them.
200 subscribers will be soon. Enjoy!
Prem is outrageous now so...
1904 i bet .
Lol you don’t need gloves for Morgan dollars lol 😂
i have 2 pcs. 1885 morgan dollar ang one 1898 morgan dollar how can i sell it
Borderline BU-AUs. $38 would not be terrible now.
Guess they figure with silver being all over the place people will lower their standards a little. I can't and that's BS.
