I'm thinking of leaving Morgan Dollars and changing up to $2.5 Indian gold pieces in MS63/64 instead. Why or why shouldn't I make a switch?
Morgans are silver and cost less than $2.5 Indians.. they cost way more because they are gold... can you really afford them?
If you can afford them, you should make the switch. Morgan Dollars are trite, over-collected, and one of the most bland designs ever made by the United States. Quarter Eagles are, as Paddy states, Gold, they have a classic, gorgeous, and also intriguing incuse design, and aren't so trite as Morgan's. A set of them is much more awe inspiring than the Morgan Dollar.
The better date morgans are expensive too. I'll just have to save up more to buy gold instead of silver.
Trite! Ugly! WTF! @1916D10C @furryfrog02 Keep your opinions recomendations to facts, not useless personal opinions.
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't, but if you switch to 2.5's you should study the series first. I hear it abounds with counterfeits...
Most of the time, Morgans can be bought and resold for less, but they can usually bring around $10-20+ profit for common dates or toned ones, and if you're good at selling many low price coins, you can get lots of profit. Also, more people are ready to spend $60-100 on one coin than $300+ on one coin. For gold coins, you usually only make $50-100 profit depending on the coin, and you don't sell as many of them. If you want to switch to gold, do so, but I don't think you will be raking in the money so quickly.
