<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 415365, member: 15116&quot;]A) my wife showed me 5 Proof coins (forget if walkers or peace) for $25 for the set, and said &quot;Gee that seems cheap.) But I didn&#039;t by them because the box and attending &quot;certification docments&quot; said they were struck by &quot;The national Mint Corp&quot; or somesuch. I felt perhaps they were not legal tender coins. Could you enlighten me on this?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>b) Confronted with some nice Morgans in 2X2&#039;s today, I had to decide between a 1889 New Orleans mint, or a 1921 D. The 1889 was priced at $22.50 and the 1921 at $24.50. They were both bright,clear coins. Having been watching too much tv auctions, I thought the New Orleans worth more, however the dealer mentioned 1921 as the last year they made the Morgan. The 1889 was perfect, but the breast feathers of the eagle were smooth. On the 1921, It was brighter still, and I could see every V in the breast feathers. </p><p>Bought the 1889. Which would you have bought?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
