I have 1 USD coin from 1883, aka the "Morgan Dollar" for swap.
As much as I like it, I don't collect American coins, and figured that someone else would appreciate it better. The coin is in great condition, and has never been restored.
Specs:
Years:1878-1921
Metal: Silver (.900)
Weight: 26.73 g
Diameter: 38.1 mm
Thickness: 3.1 mm

Please note - first photo is with the flashlight on, second two are under the general office lighting, which is pretty crappy.
My collecting passion is quite firmly rooted in Bulgarian coins and notes. If you have any fitting swap suggestions, please let me know. My personal collection is listed on the website.
Yes, an Admin got in touch and was kind enough to let me in on the forum policy. The original post was edited by himself. If you look closely, you may notice that there is no selling involved in the post anymore.
You are jumping to the wrong conclusions because of bias that probably comes from experience, so I will excuse your tone and the accusation this time.
If a moderator or an admin decides to remove the post that is perfectly fine by me.

sorry for the jumping on you, please understand that lots of crooks come here and rip off young and unexpected collectors. Please get plugged in to this forum there is a lot here to learn and enjoy.
I can help but take the last two words as a threat “this time” and I’m just curious, what do you plan to do next time I accuse you?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
No, the expressions "this time" was supposed to suggest that I would expect a tad better understanding and less bias in the future. Taking it literally moves the discussion in a rather pointless direction, and I would prefer to end it here.
Regarding the dollar - after understanding its real value, the coin is no longer for sale, as that wouldn't make particularly much sense to me.
If someone would like to swap, please let me know, but consider that I am narrow minded, when it comes to collecting, so no point in offering coins that are not Bulgarian or are not somehow related to the history of the region.
For the fellow Bulgarians - Happy Liberation Day! :)
Well, you're a better man than me. You have a good way of expressing yourself and I have certainly jumped to conclusions. Please excuse me, as you first suggested my past experiences with riffraff and crooks clouded my interpretation. You seem like a great collector and I hope you will contribute to our knowledge of Bulgaria’s history.
You might put your title as “1883 Morgan dollar for swap of Bulgarian coins”
