    Not yelling, just excited, so I guess I am yelling. I have it in my hands.
    My Morgan Dollar collection is now complete. It’s a lower grade set but what the heck, it’s still worth a lot of money. Over $4,000 just for melt silver in it at $60 an ounce, a lot more for all of the key and semi-key dates.
    I normally buy the more expensive dates first but I had so many of them I just need a few of the rougher to get dates.

    Now it’s complete.

    It took me 3 months to pay this one off and it was under $4,000.00. It’s also the only Details Coin in my entire collection but I’m gone with that. The slab label says cleaned but in hand, it really doesn’t show any signs of cleaning. There is a small amount of wear of the slab and the coin has a rim ding on the reverse at 4 PM. In thrilled to add this coin to my collection.

    My dealer also sent me this coin at no charge to put in my Whitman’s folder. It’s dated 1893 but it will go into the 1893-S spot. It will also be noted that this is a counterfeit coin. It sells for over $200.00.

    I know. Not a scratch on it. I think it was dipped. If I cracked it out and put on my window sill for a few months it would probably straight grade. Lol

    Not sure I only need 3 Franklins and 1 Peace Dollar, all of which must be PCGS blue label in MS-64 or better and FBL on the Franklins. I have lower grade complete sets but not a graded set.

    Congratulations! (If you'd like to upgrade your collection, there is an MS-65 going out this weekend on Great Collections. Current bid is only a little over $1 million. :) )
