<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 4860507, member: 19250&quot;]Who doesn&#039;t like like crown size coins?&nbsp;&nbsp; However I realized years ago that my Morgan collection would never be a complete set . </p><p>I have owned over a thousand&nbsp; Morgans over the years....and have sold off most of them keeping a few raw rolls as well slabed specimens.</p><p>Like a lot of series you always hit that wall where you finally realize that your goals in building a set need to be adjusted to reality.</p><p>Not just do to cost ,but also finding the keys in the condition you want in a matched set.</p><p>As a half dime collector I am down to the teens in the dates,and mint marks needed.</p><p>I have now not given up.....searching for those coins needed for my set, but accepted the fact I may never complete a date set.....but ....I now enjoy the specimens that I do have no matter their condition.</p><p>I say this as my goal was a set of high vf to xf grades or higher if possible.....</p><p>When one looks at the mintages in the 1860&#039;s of H-10&#039;s it becomes very real of the possibility&nbsp; of even finding one of the 1865,1866,1867 half dimes.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am still on the hunt....but have learned to appreciate the variety and dates I have collected. And not to focus on filling holes in a book .&nbsp; It isn&#039;t so much the reaching finial destination....but to&nbsp; enjoying the ride. Good luck in your goals...of compleating your set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
