Completed my BU Morgan Date Set!

It's finally done. It's almost (almost) a perfectly matched edge toned date set - in all honesty, the 1894-O and 1895-O are probably going to grade AU/MS Details. But all the others I believe will go 63/64 and they're all just gorgeous together.

I even cracked out 2 CAC coins for it. I won't say which ones, but I've kept the tags for posterity.

Quite the hunt!

Congratulations on a gorgeous set!

 

Congratulations!

 

Seemingly lovely indeed. You should be proud of such an accomplishment.

 

Great set Brett.

I'm have the same set in process. . . I need the dreaded '93 and '95 to complete it.

 

Nice set! And not easy to have them match so well. Congrats!

 

Great work beautiful set. Love the 89 especially.

What's next?

 

Very beautiful dollars! It looks like a pretty darn challenging set to assemble in uncirculated grades.

 

Looked at from a slightly different viewpoint, the 1894 and 1895 are likely as close to the top of their Condition Census as any coins in the book.

 

great accomplishment. what set will you work on next ???

 

Nice. Which coin was the one that completed the set for you?

 

Congratulations well done

 

Nice!!!

 

So what do you want, a medal? Lol, I'm just busting your chops. If you hasten to think beyond what you're getting all the congrats for, though, i.e., the accomplishment, it may dawn on you, you're in a unique vantage point, having them all together like this. Your journey is over in terms of the accomplishment, but it's just beginning in terms of what you can discover about this popular series. Think about it. Because you have this series in hand, just think what you can discover in terms to the evolution of the series? There are very subtle changes in these designs we don't even notice viewing them one at a time. Why don't you take a good look at this accomplishment and see if you can identify anything? The 1921s, for instance, have one as opposed to two berries in the upper-right leaf cluster on the reverse. What other subtle differences might there be through the evolution of this series? You can find that just by looking at and comparing these obverses and reverses. If you find something "funny," do further research on it, to find out if it holds up. Take advantage of this broader view of this series you now have in-hand. You worked hard to get it, and now you have it. Don't just file it away in some drawer, somewhere. This is a research opportunity waiting to happen. Realize it. That's all it's going to take.

 

Nice Set Congrats

 

Great set Brett! I've been trying to do a DMPL raw set for three or four years now, but I still have seven more to go. I started it when I finally admitted that doing the complete proof set was probably never going to happen.

 

This was the final coin, and I splurged a bit.

I picked up this 1893-P a couple weeks ago at our local coin show.

 

Congrats on assembling a great set - and thanks for sharing!

 

To heck with trying to figure out abstract art. This IS a work of art. Congrats on a job well done. Envious in the nicest way.

 

Great looking album well done, they look excellent.
