Pending my macrophotography set-up, I’ll post my latest semi-precious metal acquisition.



Hollow points at left.

 

I'm triggered.

 

Bought the first one today for 30, it has between 5 and 10% rotation. the second about 10 days ago from the same pawn shop for 35. Looks like the start if a 53 collection.

 

A crime deterrent if I ever saw one.

 

... or at least a recidivism reduction device.

 

Love the capped but my fav is the sitting quarter. Would fit with the 2 I have.

 

1889 S MS 63 (update)
Lower mintage. Nice example for the grade. I now have all the
89 Morgans, except the one that really matters.

 

Very nice, good buddy!

 

Just purchased, looking forward to seeing it in hand

 

Yes! They came with a 1-year warranty.

 

Oh I want that.........how much for the extended warranty ?

 

Now I'm wanting a Morgan. Thanks guys

 

Go to any coin show. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting about ten thousand of the things.

 

The pawn shop only has 30. Lol

 

Morgans are not difficult to come by, but finding one that fits exactly into what you want if you have goals may be harder. I just happened upon this one and realized that for the price, I probably would have to look a long time to get one this nice in what I could afford. Now the pics may not be the best and may actually be hiding some blemishes or whatever, but seeing others in this grade, I realized that many have quite large distractions as far as I am concerned. Not only are grades different, but coins can be quite wide ranging in their pleasingness even in the same grades. Basically, my goals have started changing and I think this one fits in for what I hope, should I both live long enough, and win the lottery, be able to accomplish. May not happen, though. I have decided to maybe (finally) heed someone's (who I won't name here, but is in the numismatic world) advice to not plan on upgrading when you get a coin, but to purchase the best you can. Even if it means having less coins. Which now means my Franklin Philly date (business strike) collection will not get finished. I started that years ago and am about 40% into it, but I was focusing on MS 64 and 65 and I don't feel that I want to spend the dollars to finish it. I am thinking I will sell most if not all the ones I have, buy one Frankie in the best grade I can afford, and leave it at that. But I might keep my bugs bunny one, too.

 

Bet he paid a pretty penny for it.
