1894 is a better date in the Morgan Dollar series. Why? The Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890 was a disaster. Silver producers were able to...
Fine, we shall agree to disagree. Just don't got dumping on other people's material. You are entitield to your opinion.
I collect mostly old gold because that's what interests me. I have one set set of Uncirculated and Proof AGE as type coins. That's it. I don't...

I don't have a 1908 No Motto $10 gold. The closest I have is a 1907 No Periods and a 1908 With Motto $10 gold. The cleaning goes beyond just...
