If you collect Morgan Dollars, how many do you have to go yet to complete a set ? I'm not counting VAMs right now. I'm just counting dates & mintmarks. So, how far are you ? I have something like 50 to go.
Let's just say there are quite a few more holes than filled holes in my set. I'm working on it though...slowly but steadily it's growing and upgrading.
my type set is unfortunately complete my peace type set will also be complete soon. I wish I could get a 1964 peace
While I never would consider or be able to afford a complete set, I have made sub-sets goals and only buy what I like. For instance, a DMPL from each mint is a neat set, or a rainbow from each mint, etc. Being a Lincoln guy, I sure do appreciate a beauty Morgan when I see em and try to jump on the real eye catchers if I can.
still working on my date/mint set of morgans. i am in my 3rd yr and have just purchased my 39th coin. that leaves 54 or so to go. should get it finsihed in another 10 yrs or so( not including the 1895)....steve
I voted 100 Plus. Because I feel you can never have enough morgans even doubles, triples and so on of any date. Morgans are going to get even more interesting i feel in the coming years becuase of types & VAMs. You could grabe roll of 20 same date morgan and find 20 different types & VAMs. I never really focused on a full collection by date with the morgans. Although if i had the money to own a full set with every date and mint from 1878 to 1921 that would bea rather impressive thing to show off. I picked up a Morgan yesterday that i already have 5 of now 6. lol 1883 awsome tone about MS62 63 grade Reason I bought it? 25 bucks.
lets see over several years of casual collection, never searching for a complete set, I have 36 different dates, most of them common, but all of them loved
I'll never complete the set. I never complete any set. I just buy them as I find them when I like them regardless of whether I already have one or not.
I'm the same way. I can't turn down a good deal on a Morgan. I have 3 1891-CC's. There are several date/mm that I have 5-6 of.
Er I only have 2 lol... I collect by type, not by series usually... I like Morgans but would rather concentrate on getting several different coin types than a bunch of coins that only differ from one another by their date and mintmark. Just my preference. That being said there are times when a nice coin catches my eye and I'll buy it on impulse despite already having that coin type (is how I got the 2nd morgan lol... it was more circulated than my first but in an interesting way that just made me want it for some reason).
I have no 1895. Was just offered a nice upgrade 1893-S MS63 Today. Almost tipped over in my chair when he told me the price. If somebody here is interested PM me and I will hook you up..
