[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 24620340, member: 101855"]I could never get hooked on American Silver Eagles. I had a couple of fairly large partial sets and just couldn't get interested in them. I know that there are a lot of collectors who really like them. When I was a dealer, I used to watch an old guy who sat at the coin show table next to mine who carefully looked at each piece and bought them every month. He must have had a huge collection, all hand picked. Given the games the mint is playing with them now with all of the finishes and "limited editions" I'm even more glad I never got hooked on the series. I have also never been a big Buffalo Nickel and Washington Quarter fan. Those two series just never grabbed my attention beyond the type coins as Proofs. As for Morgan Dollars, they have interesting history in the battles over "cheap money" and "free silver." That led me to collect these sets in Capital Plastic holders and have one Morgan Dollar in Proof as a type coin. [ATTACH=full]1565568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1565569[/ATTACH] When I was dealer, I loved to get Morgan Dollar want lists. Filling them was easy. All of the date and mint mark combinations are always available.[/QUOTE]
