<p>[QUOTE="Rodger Coman, post: 4872434, member: 112410"]Your goal is admirable. Going for MS will be tough and expensive. I had 5 Morgans that I gathered as I thought they were beautiful. This past March I decided to get serious, I have 126 now, 56 are graded and of those I have 87 of the mint/year combinations and have invested about $10k. That is big bucks for old retired folks. It is a considerable investment and finishing is going to be hard as the rest are very expensive or had to get. The last 9 for me are the ones with the lowest mintages.</p><p>I recommend you not worry about VAM or other varieties. If you get some, great, but don't concentrate on them unless that is a sub goal. They are still Morgan Mint/Year. You might also consider some with DETAILS when nothing else is available. You can judge the beauty.</p><p>Keep a spreadsheet of each coin, date, mint, grade, cost and potential value (CDN is best). As you fill in the empty spots, you will begin to see where you need to concentrate. You can always replace a lower grade later. Get what you need. Morgans are the most expensive set to put together, so enjoy the ride.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
