<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 191081, member: 7248&quot;]remember that pop reports will always raise. note that a low pop report on 1882-s morgans and similar dates. its not that the coin is rare. its that its common in the grades and not going to get them a 66 or 67 grade so no point in paying to get it slabbed.&nbsp; look at auction listings and dealer listings&nbsp; especially over the years to see how many times that coin is available in that given grade.. heritage is a great resource when it comes to that. been able to track prices and appearances from their auctions for frequency and price. also coin vs coin comparison. same w/ teletrade and other&nbsp; auction houses. then i go to dealer lists to see how many are available&nbsp; in dealer stock and prices. get a copy of david bowers buyers guide as it is worth the money. i am putting together morgans as a collection. since money is a premium, i chose to go the ms63/64 route for more bang for the buck and less competition. for the scarce and keys i go for fine or better. the real keys are beyond me at this point. when buying, i go for what i deem to be the prettiest coin for the money. i first look at pics for the certain characteristics i want in my collection...color..peripheral toning...steel gray to slightly darker for my circulated coins. strictly what i find eye appealing to me. then comes pricing and its coin vs coin. the first basis tho is it must catch my eye. also keep in mind that there are lots of morgans out there for the most part so pick and choose. there is no shortage of people wanting to trade you coins for money so make sure you get the best coin for your buck even if you have to wait. another will always appear at some point. especially common or semi scarce dates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
