<p>[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 3165962, member: 20480"]I think it all depends on the extents of your type set. If you plan to include a lot of coins that will barely be within budget in the AU/MS grades (Barber / earlier material), you'll probably end up compromising the grade on those coins to afford them. Therefore, because so many Morgan Dollar dates are available in AU and mint state for comparatively little money, I suggest delaying a purchase on one until you see just the right coin for $25- $30 and save the difference to keep a more expensive type within reach. I'd also resist the temptation to buy a screaming gorgeous BU coin simply because you love it. Remebre your goal . . . to assemble a type set which, I assume, you want to end up well-matched. If that's the case, selecting a very attractive AU58 Morgan might preferable to a mint state coin so that the balance of your set better matches that coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
