<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1433377, member: 37839&quot;]Thanks, Green.&nbsp; I appreciate that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a very specific collection this time, and am not going for a wide range, or a full set of anything.&nbsp; 10 years ago, I sold a full Morgan set, with fairly low grade mint state coins, and the keys were all beaters--my 1893s looked as if it were hit with a baseball bat. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; My 89cc was a bizarre problem coin in a &quot;details&quot; holder, and was beyond ugly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It was fun having the entire series, and I made a lot of money on the sale, as it took me 9 years to assemble it.&nbsp; Now, however, I am specifically collecting only higher grade Morgans--the lowest being MS 63s, with a strong preference for PL and DMPL coins.&nbsp; I am also going for GSA CCs and PL CC coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d rather have high grade &quot;good value&quot; common dates in this particular collection, than a &quot;beater&quot; 1884s just to complete my set.&nbsp; I guess every collector has a different set of priorities, and I want pretty, eye appeal, specific coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not going for a huge collection this time either--going to keep it more selective with desirable coins, so grade is important to me for that reason--it isn&#039;t just the number, but the idea of having a grouping of 63-66 Morgans that are very attractive, valuable, and most importantly, unique for me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Had my first Morgan at age 8, from my grandfather, and that was over 40 years ago.&nbsp; He was a furrier, and Morgan dollars were passed around in the fur industry (this is not commonly known) as tokens of appreciation.&nbsp; He gave me loads of circulated coins, and I still have an 1893 Philadelphia coin on my dresser.&nbsp; I keep it for sentimental value, as he gave it to me.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t in a slab, as it is &quot;harshly cleaned.&quot;&nbsp; How do I know this?&nbsp; hehhehee--I harshly cleaned it with silver polish and a brush at age 10, since I thought all coins were supposed to be shiny.&nbsp; Now, it is either a &quot;pocket coin&quot;&nbsp; (nice date for a pocket piece), and it sits on my dresser and reflects the sun coming through my windows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
