<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 271482, member: 8033&quot;]Come on Ruben let&#039;s not split hairs with the Cent VS Penny thing and I use the word Cents.</p><p>Fewer people know that Lincoln freed the slaves? What kind of circles are you hanging in?</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife likes to relate a story about when she was VERY young and her grandpa would offer her and her sister a nickel or a dime. Not really knowing the value of money they would take the nickel because it was bigger.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now put a common date Morgan in my hand and an SVDB in the other and I&#039;ll take the SVDB. Put a G4 SVDB in my hand and a G4 93-S Morgan in my other hand and I&#039;ll take the 93-S becuase I know these things.</p><p><br /></p><p>I voted Lincolns for practicallity and the &quot;average&quot; collector&#039;s beginnings. Many start as children like myself and filling up that book of wheaties was much more feasible unless you had the bucks for Morgans. That holds true even in adulthood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I&#039;m a type coin junkie and heavy on the Two Cent Pieces. A good friend of mine is working his way to a top 5 PCGS Morgan set. He has the means and I don&#039;t. Doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;re not good friends and he doesn&#039;t &quot;look down his nose&quot; at my &quot;low&quot; dollar coins.</p><p>Turns out when I showed him my unc set of 2 Cents he was so impressed that he built a set of his own. Suddenly he appreciated copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I stated I&#039;m a type coin man but do own several Morgans and an almost complete set of wheats. Why so many more wheats? Turns out I could afford them and the vast majority of collectors are in the same boat.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I&#039;m with Arizona Jack on the 2009 thing as well. I&#039;m stocking up on wheats. If I do well enough maybe I&#039;ll buy some Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
