<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3911806, member: 57463&quot;]Based on your comments, above, you do seem to have your head about you. So, you will learn quickly and do well. That said, you really should stay off eBay if you are new to collecting. Go to the ANA website, <a href="http://www.money.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.money.org" rel="nofollow">www.money.org</a>, and in the center under Community, the dropdown will take you to a search for ANA member dealers in your area.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will not find Santa Claus there, but any ANA member dealer can lose their membership over a single complaint. If a coin is counterfeit or fake, the dealer has no excuse: they are expected to know; and are held to a lifetime commitment. You still need to know your stuff. But at least it is a first line defense for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really like Morgan Dollars - and 1921s are the most common - then you deserve to invest in a book about them.&nbsp; Look at the Whitman Publishing website, for example. They have several books covering the series.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is their standard handbook</p><p><a href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/A-Guide-Book-of-Morgan-Silver-Dollars-6th-Edition-+0794846424" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/A-Guide-Book-of-Morgan-Silver-Dollars-6th-Edition-+0794846424" rel="nofollow">https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/A-Guide-Book-of-Morgan-Silver-Dollars-6th-Edition-+0794846424</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031139[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is a specialty book about the Carson City issues</p><p><a href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Carson-City-Morgan-Dollars-4th-Edition+079484524X" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Carson-City-Morgan-Dollars-4th-Edition+079484524X" rel="nofollow">https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Carson-City-Morgan-Dollars-4th-Edition+079484524X</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one is more general, but also focused on high grade, high value examples</p><p><a href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Morgan-Dollar-Miles-Standish-Presents+0794845576" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Morgan-Dollar-Miles-Standish-Presents+0794845576" rel="nofollow">https://www.whitman.com/store/Inventory/Detail/Morgan-Dollar-Miles-Standish-Presents+0794845576</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards,</p><p>Mike M.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
