<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 3913379, member: 59677&quot;]The reverse is much nicer than the obverse - she&#039;s had a hard life. Something you will learn is that the obverse is way more important... a bad reverse can bring DOWN the overall grade, but rarely INCREASE it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for collecting in general, here&#039;s the thing...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you get serious about collecting Morgan Dollars, you are going to want to move up a bit in grade.

Meanwhile, during the month or two it takes you to figure it out, put the coin money aside - be it $20/week or $200/month or whatever. You&#039;ll be able to make a bigger (more important) purchase when you start collecting again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
