[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 3356081, member: 42727"]I too am a fan of both those series. I am trying to complete a Peace Dollar set as I type. 6 more to go (4 San Fran, 2 Denver). I gave up trying to finish a date and mm Morgan collection. Although I'm 4 away from a date set. I will complete the date set soon. My first piece of advice. Start by buying the Whitman published book on each series. Then learn how to grade the coins. If you're worried about value, as you should, knowing how to grade the coins is imperative. Your first coins should all be graded by one of the reputable TPG's. Like you, I prefer NGC, but I own many PCGS graded coins and some ANACS as well. Buying graded coins will minimize any financial mistakes you make. Do NOT buy raw until you know what you're doing. Both of my collections have coins in different TPG holders and a range in grades. I will complete my Peace Dollar collection in MS64 and higher. I don't care if they are all the same grade or in the same TPG holder. When I go to sell them, it will be by individual coin, not as an entire collection. Eye appeal, eye appeal, eye appeal, not all graded coins are alike. Learn the series and [B]go slow[/B]. There are plenty of each of these coins in the market place. None of them are scarce. Of course there are conditionally rare coins, but not absolute scarcity, except maybe the '93 S Morgan. Find good buying sources. Visit Heritage auctions and view their Auction Archives. There are hundreds of thousands of Morgans and Peace dollars that you can look at and become familiar with the coins themselves. Most of all, HAVE FUN! Visit here and ask questions.[/QUOTE]
