We have several toned AU Morgans and they tend to be darker than others. In New Orleans they were often used in circulation and then made their...
I looked back through this thread and did not see anyone comment on the historical nature of the coin. The Charlotte Mint, like Dahlonega, was in...
Well no retailer can ever prove conclusively that loss leaders alone improve sales. The results have to be in the overall health and profitabity...
Well the "War of Northern Aggression" killed off both Mints I guess. Dahlonega and Charlotte were short lived as their gold ran out. I just...
Nice coin. I live near the old Dahlonega Mint and thought about trying a set of those, but boy is everyone proud of them.
True, but they cannot arrest and, try, and imprison competing foreign mints. And since they consider their collector programs to be for profit...
This month in our 1881-O Morgan Dollar web site we are launching into a study that we are calling "fingerprints" where we plan to use our...

I am doing the same with our grandchildren. Each month I send them a coin and 4 or 5 questions related to history about the coin or events...
To some degree this is accurate in that words are added and dropped over time. But I believe this comes from frequent use in everyday...
Congratulations. I have purchased from them from time-to-time and usually feel like I get a fair deal.
My only point is that all hobbies compete for a share of time (and mind) with potential participants. Coin collecting teaches history, takes...
You make some good points, but I still think our hobby now competes with the electronic world for a share of mind with the younger set. We have...
There is a lot of discussion about this, in particular Morgan Dollar VAM prices, on VAMworld. The economy has a lot to do with it including...
I made the argument the other day that this could become an issue. The dealers are banking on numbers and we know most of the coins will wind up...
