Congratulations Ed.
I started collecting in 1948. The 1950 D was a difficult one to find in the small mid-west town I lived in. I got one but had to trade a friend...
I'm glad I stopped collecting US Mint ballast. The quarters are not very interesting and there are, again, too many of them.
Great day thanks for sharing.
Finding a mint run coin without an anomaly or defect is a big challenge. This is especially true the more magnification we use.
I have some pottery shards I found at a local site up home (Iowa).
Retired Geologist. I think he would have known the law. However, it is a good story to remind all of us.
Me too.
What does PM, S mean?
I'm not good with acronyms. What are you talking about?
I feel that the quality of US coins has gone downhill fast. These look typical to what I see in modern coins. But, if they are mint rolls then...
Now, my wife may take exception to that. I won't tell her. :)
Be careful using the word "old" with that coin. I was made in 1943 also. Nice find.

Welcome to CT. Those Morgans have great eye appeal but not suited to the cost of grading.
Look at the Red Book and see the listings for issue price and current price for mint products. Never buy from the mint as an investment.
Closed all my mint orders a year ago. No more high-priced silver and ten-year sets for me.
Then this is the "burnished" ASE?
What does that mean?
I pulled it out and photographed my 1917. I suppose it is a little better than the one you found, but not by much. [ATTACH]
