Message:: [QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 76159, member: 2146"]From the tone of your post, it seems like you're no longer happy with the coin.  But, it's still the same coin your uncle gave you, right?  That makes its sentimental value priceless, regardless of its condition. When I was around 7 years old, a lady friend of my mother's whom I loved dearly gave me a common date Morgan Dollar that she'd picked up in Las Vegas.  On the reverse of the coin was a little, black star-shaped decal which, in my 7-year-old naive way, I promptly took a knife to in order to remove.  Most of the decal remains to this day along with several obvious knife marks.  But, it's one of the most valuable conis in my collection (sentimentally speaking) and I'll never part with it.  The lady friend passed away many years ago and I still remember her when I look at the coin. So, no matter what your Morgan Dollar looks like, hold onto it forever.  You'll think of your uncle every time you look at it.  That's where the real treasure of coin collecting comes from... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
