If so yes. Value is only a smal part of collecting. If you like what you got, thats the most important thing. BTW You can't go wrong for $5.00   07-05-2009, 11:20 PM   #3 (permalink) PennyGuy Ones and Twos     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Jackson MI Posts: 1,237 My Mood: Good advice there from sweet wheetz. A small price for something you like equals a good buy! __________________ ANA - MSNS - EAC - SLCC - NLOC "A penny hit by lightning is worth six cents" Opie Taylor   07-06-2009, 10:48 AM   #4 (permalink) Mark Feld Rare coin dealer     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,629 Quote: Originally Posted by sweet wheatz Do you enjoy them?

BTW You can't go wrong for $5.00 You CAN go wrong for $5, if the same items can be bought elsewhere for 50% or less of that price. And you could still "like what you got", just at a lower price. I don't know that such is the case, but it seems possible.   07-06-2009, 10:55 AM   #5 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,113 My Mood: Well you didn't buy anything rare to the best of my knowledge. For $5 you did okay, only if you are pleased with the purchase. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) htpp://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com   07-06-2009, 11:22 AM   #6 (permalink) chip chip   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Northern Illinois Posts: 540 Blog Entries: 13 I have a question, were the Morgan mint quarters different from the US mint quarters (the drummer boy)? I agree with both the statements, that for 5$ you cant go wrong, and for 5$ you can go wrong. Depending on your collection goals. __________________ E Pluribus FUN!   07-06-2009, 12:36 PM   #7 (permalink) CamaroDMD Dental Student     Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Oregon Posts: 5,185 My Mood: I think you did fine...unless the coins have been cleaned. I assume the Morgan Mint assembled a set of Bicentennial quarters and put them in a holder and sold them for way more than they are worth. But, for $5 at a garage sale...I'm sure you did fine. If that is a complete set, two of those S mint coins could be 40% silver. __________________ 1914-D Lincoln Cent: A Coin With a Story The Truth About "O" Mint Morgan Dollars   07-07-2009, 01:39 PM   #8 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 4,354 That's what it sounds like, a complete set of Bicentennial quarter P&D Unc clad, S Proof clad, S 40% silver unc, and S 40% silver proof. Sounds like a good deal for $5, and it's probably a lot less than what they paid the Morgan Mint for them. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
