[QUOTE="Joe Campbell, post: 3597894, member: 89857"]Thanks for all the input and info thus far. [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] - what am I looking for? Good question. I guess I’m looking for a nice type example of a Morgan for the collection. Probably my criteria are: 1) value retention - I don’t need to make money, but I don’t like losing it in the long run. Not planning to sell but eventually everything gets sold. 2) eye appeal incl. strike quality 3) condition (actual, not necessarily numeric grade) 4) date/mint - has to be 19th century and prefer a ‘better date’ if possible. 5) value appreciation - it’s never a bad thing. I’m narrowing down on a couple of options a) 1899 P in 65-66+. Has good strikes. Like the low mintage. Somehow being the last date in the 19th century is slightly sexy. b) 1882 S in 66-67, maybe PL or DMPL. I love the DMPL look but every tiny hit on the frosted cameo really stand out to me so maybe i’m Better off avoiding PL. 82-S have great strikes and are super cheap in 66-67.[/QUOTE]
