    The Morgan subset I chose to collect is a) a year set (at least one coin from each year minted), b) a mint set (at least 1 coin from each mint) and c) all of the New Orleans minted Morgan’s. 30 coins total.

    · 1878-CC

    · 1879-O thru 1904-O

    · 1921-P, D, S

    In addition I have an 1883-CC GSA in original government packaging with COA. I also have a 2nd 1884-O that I keep in my Type Set.

    Here are rushed pictures of the 30 coins.

    The 78cc Looks like a VAM-6
    This coin is a Top 100 and a WOW! Morgan VAM

    Thanks. All over the place in terms of grades, but I like them.

    I think I got the 21's from grandma when I was a kid, but I basically spent the last 2 or 3 years compiling the set once I defined it. Sold a few common date non-New Orleans coins to acquire the New Orleans coins.

    Thanks for the tip. The VAM-29A is also a Top 100 I think.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Since you're not gunning for everything, it's doubtful these are in a Dansco. How do you store them?

    I think that appeals to me even more, it’s more of a “realistic” set for regular ol’ people such as myself. A lot of Uncirculated sets can start to look alike, and of course would be way out of my reach money wise. Nice CC!

    Nice Set! As a beginning collector, I have chosen to collect one Morgan coin from each year of release in an NGC Graded Slab, but am not focusing on any particular Mint. I need one more (1894) to complete the collection. I may post them when I've completed the set, but it may be awhile unless the Donald wants to send me another check!
