<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 24801660, member: 13650&quot;]You can check out my registry set in my NGC banner on my post here.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have 21 of 105 so far.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have focused far more on my US Type than the Midwest Morgan set, but I had a collection of them and I figured I may as well start a set of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; A 150 to 300 price range means you would have some high MS ones and some lower grades and some you won&#039;t be able to buy.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The majority of the set is pretty easy.&nbsp; Can be picky on many issues and hold out for ones that really grab you.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some years like the 1880-S have many beautiful toned examples to pick from.&nbsp; I found a stunner at a show one time.&nbsp; I actually have two cool toners from that year.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; As far as getting authentic ones, the Morgan as a series probably have more pedigreed coins from various hoards than any other series.&nbsp;&nbsp; As an example for the first 1878&nbsp; 8 Tail Feather version, I picked up one from the Binion Hoard that grabbed me.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; You may get one from the Lincoln Highway Hoard or the Battle Creek Hoard, Redfield Hoard or GSA examples that were liquidated from banks in the early 70s.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of these have been graded in their original government holders.&nbsp; I have one myself.&nbsp; &nbsp; Any more recently graded coins can be referenced by images on NGCs website using their verification and the slab #.&nbsp; They began photographing everything even if you don&#039;t pay extra for it a while back.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; While some others have distinct die cracks, polish marks and flaws such as the 1921-D you can look for to help avoid getting a counterfeit.&nbsp; &nbsp; You also have neat re-punched mint marks to go after such as 1900 O/CC or the 1882- O/S variety which are not likely to be copied with proper diagnostics.&nbsp; &nbsp; Others are just very abundant in high grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I haven&#039;t really given the set the attention it deserves but it is nice having the registry set going so if I&#039;m at a show and spot one I need that is really unique I can get it and have a place for it.&nbsp; The registry option I chose is 105 coins to complete.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
