I'm going to be sad if and when that day comes for me. I'm likely not going to get the complete set of Morgans, it irks me to buy coins of poor quality no matter their value. However, I have over 150 graded Morgans and always looking to upgrade existing ones. I need to find the best way to sell some of the lessor duplicates.
@Chris B. Kind of looks like Orson Wells getting crowned for a lifetime Oscar but I like it. Very cool. James
I must admit. I forgot this post but decided to go back and look at what I said and compare to what has happened. (NOTE) I did change my goals during the year. That is why there are 6 coins I didn't know I needed; but then did. I have found 2 1840's Seated Quarters. 1846 & 1848. I also added 1839 to make the date run from 1838 to 1849 complete. I have added 1 Proof Indian cent. 1897 I have added 3 Seated dimes. 1851-O, 1868, 1869'S (last one is a long time chase) I have added 2 Half Dollars. 1836 & 1868.
