<p>[QUOTE="Barry Mahon, post: 3127000, member: 96583"]I happened to do all the research on these items along with the $5.00 gold piece that was also made. The $5.00 gold piece had a run of 500 pieces. Each of the Morgans had a run of 800 each. They were all struck on the famous press #1 it is also the very last coins or medals that will ever be ran on that press. They were made to the same specs as the original ones, they were made from the dies that were dug up that were discovered along the side of the mint during a project. Out of all of the one's ran not all made it to the gem grade,like any other run of coins not all come out perfect. The original cost of the $5.00 gold piece was $999.00 The Morgan silver dollars were not sold as a set you could buy 1 at a time, they were sold at $125.00 each. They are a beautiful set, they had to add the 2015 to the dates along with commemorative to the back. as they were not made as a spendable coin. I have seen the gold coin selling up to $1799.00 and the Morgans as high as $300.00 each. I guess it depends on your love of coins, to how much you are willing to spend to fill in your Carson City collection. We all know that these coins were never ran back in the day, but to complete your collection at the most there would only ever be a chance of 800 sets being put together. If you wanted the complete set then there would only be a chance of 500 sets with the gold piece, there is no record of how many made it to gem grade, so it may even be less. Hope this helps !!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
