Guess the year of the Morgan Reverse

A bunch of different things - including, but not limited to 1798, 1799 Bust Dollars, 2 1806 Bust quarters, 1795 half dime, 1805 half dime, several bust half dollars, 1886 Liberty Nickel, St. Gaudens, 1853 $5 gold coronet, etc. I should mention this also included all of my gold and silver platinum eagles - those went when gold hit a 1000. I also got new landscaping for the house :mouth:, some large cents and some IHC's. Most of my latest purchases come from these coins. Trust me - I like the commemoratives, most are well struck and very nice - I just decided I wanted to go another direction. My father had far fewer than me and traded them in for proof sets - his now go back to 1951. Even with all that I have a chunk of change left.

The commemorative collectors I know buy only from the mint and really do not put any effort into it. Doing it for their kids. They look at em once and into the closet(or safe) they go. While I still consider them collectors they do not.

Spock I looked on line at what prices dealers had them listed for - yes I could have made additional money if I wanted to put up with the headache. Overall I came out ahead on the deal - good enough for me. Plus I wanted my dealer to be the one to make the money on the coins - I know some will move quick and some slow. I just did not want to mess with it. The only modern I have left are my three sets of silver eagles. One way of thanking them and building the relationship. All of them always take time to talk to me and help me, even when they are very busy.

First off, it's not a genuine morgan dollar. It is a replica or you are in possesion of a one of a kind. If it is a replica, my guess would be an 1879 rev 1878. Edit to post. After reading the posts I can say that I knew it wasn't genuine because the tail feathers were all messed up. While I know a bit about the morgan dollars, I do not know about all the commemoratives that have it's likeness.

 

2006 Commemoratives

 

Like I said, it's not a genuine morgan. Saying it is genuine, it's a genuine commemorative is like calling a replica trade dollar genuine because it's a genuine replica. But I hope you understand what I was saying from my first post and concidering I did not read the thread till after I made the original post.

 

George designed it......it's a genuine Morgan

 

I think it have to do with the packaging, it's not easy to look at modern commemoratives as compared to coins in albums and slabs. I too rarely look at the stuff I buy from the mint either. I keep maybe 10-20 mint products in a bigger box, have to open a bigger box, open the mint paper box, then the clam shell or another box to see 1 coin. Not easy to organize them either. There is so much clutter if you have lots of modern mint products.

There are albums for the plastic capsules but doesn't look so nice with plastic capsules in plastic sheets.
