I just opened another box a few days ago and it contained 500 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars. I looked at them quickly as I’ve been spending time with my rocks, fossils and minerals and antiques while pricing for the shop. I can’t believe how busy it is. It makes me wonder where people are getting all this money. At any rate I could come close to filling most holes in Whitman’s folders for the Morgan Dollars. I still need the key dates of course but there were a number of coins like this one in the box. This is a 1904-S with only 2,304,000 minted. She worked for a living but she’s sweet to me. Not bad considering she was in the rolls I purchased as junk silver over 12 years ago.
I've only had MS Morgan dollars for the past two years, and I was thinking the same thing, having worn key date coins would be more interesting than bright white mint state normal dates.
Says the man who just found FIVE HUNDRED silver dollars in a box that he'd bought and then forgotten about...
I love that date and mint. Matter a fact, mine is on my “don’t sell” list. I think instead of being a semi-key, the date should be a real conditional rarity, key date above XF? Just my opinion.
I share your love for the 1904-S Morgan Dollar. I picked this one up at a DLRC auction in 2013 for $46.
