<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rysherms, post: 1696394, member: 46631&quot;]Hey Joe, and welcome to the forums. I too lurked before needing to be able to ask a few Q&#039;s myself. Below is a link to help you with what I find to be the most important aspect of numismatic collecting behind &quot;coin grade&quot;....mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://morgandollars.net/morgan-dollar-mintage/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://morgandollars.net/morgan-dollar-mintage/" rel="nofollow">http://morgandollars.net/morgan-dollar-mintage/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I would reckon the 1890 CC would be the cheapest entry level year due to it&#039;s higher mintage...but I am not big on graded silver. Personally, the way my investing and collecting has blended is as such. I put together sets of Maples and Eagles, one of every year. I also invest in&nbsp; poured silver bars. I like these for two reasons, 1)they are pretty cheap over spot (if you dont buy on feeBay) and 2)I like the aesthetic appearance. And this raises a good point. If you are doing this as an investment, I cannot advise you to continue. If you are doing it because you just have a little man in your head that says &quot;Joe, you need to buy graded morgan dollars, they are super pretty and shiny&quot; then by all means go for it, but be responsible and know that it is for collecting purposes and not an investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>My investment in PMs is basically poured silver bars. The crossover between investment and collecting is my tubes of sequential year maples and eagles. My numismatic collection is basically made of canadian releases that relate to maples (is the piedfort, maple of hope, 25th anniversary maple etc etc) as well as eagle sets (2006, 2011, 2012 and soon to be 2013). The only gold I collect is NGC-MS70 eagles, however, I will admit I only recently got into gold and have not really made a large dent. I buy graded gold because I am always nervous of counterfeits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
