Check it out. The groovy CircCam 1900-O Morgan you sent me just officially launched my Dansco #7172 album. I put the Ikes I got from @MontCollector in, too.
Well worn, yes, but exactly the look I want. I'm not after lustrous MS Morgans. I want nice original grey circulated pieces with this CircCam appearance. My target grade for the Morgan's is F-VF, but really this CircCam look is more of a VG-F thing, so I'm not really stuck on any strict ideas, gradewise. Haven't decided what I'll do with the Peace dollars, yet. The CircCam look is not is not so common with them. I'm going all BU for the Ikes and SBAs. PS- oh, wait- you were referring to ol' bald Ike peeking through from the back page, weren't you?
Nice. I love that look, from the Seated's on up to the mid 00s - a coin that was used as a coin, "rode hard and put away wet"
Exactly! Did its job in commerce, instead of spending a century in a vault and remaining all lustrous and Mint State. Don't get me wrong- MS coins are lovely- but I always said if I took up Morgans, they'd look more like this.
People always wonder why so many dateless Buffalos- because they were used many times a day for decades.
I love good original circulated coins especially the earlier bust and seated stuff. I buy a lot of it
I've got this one coming in a swap from @Justinokay. I think it's almost perfect for the look I'm after.
