<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 25291119, member: 100459&quot;]I appreciate your comments about Morgans.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t start collecting coins until my father passed.&nbsp; He had over 1,000 coins and they were left to me and my brother to determine how to divide them.&nbsp; Having been a State Auditor for a major university, I decided to do research on the value of coins.&nbsp; It took about 2 years to develop a mediocre ability to determine the value of the coins.&nbsp; The pennies were dumped into an old pickle jar.&nbsp; Some coins had been bought from a coin show and others from my research.&nbsp; (Again, I still didn&#039;t have a perfect sense of quality and value.&nbsp; I did my best and just divided the pennies without determining the value.&nbsp; With the other coins, I would count them out and if there were 50 half dollars, I would put 25 in on box and the other 20 in the other box.&nbsp; After I finished, I put the 2 boxes side by side and let my brother decide which box he wanted.&nbsp; After a week, he decided he wanted the other box, so I shipped them to him and he gave me the other box. </p><p>He must have gone to someone to help him figure out the value of his coins.&nbsp; I hadn&#039;t even looked at my box.&nbsp; Anyway, he seems happy with the other box which was almost exactly the same as the one I had.</p><p>Anyway, there were some Morgans in them that were in pretty good shape.&nbsp; I was watching a late night coin show and saw them selling a nice set of Morgans that were graded MS65.&nbsp; They were 1882, 1883, and 1884.&nbsp; I probably paid too much for them.&nbsp; The set cost me $1,500.&nbsp; That was in 2006.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
