Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3148201, member: 31533"]Morgans are not difficult to come by, but finding one that fits exactly into what you want if you have goals may be harder. I just happened upon this one and realized that for the price, I probably would have to look a long time to get one this nice in what I could afford. Now the pics may not be the best and may actually be hiding some blemishes or whatever, but seeing others in this grade, I realized that many have quite large distractions as far as I am concerned. Not only are grades different, but coins can be quite wide ranging in their pleasingness even in the same grades. Basically, my goals have started changing and I think this one fits in for what I hope, should I both live long enough, and win the lottery, be able to accomplish. May not happen, though. I have decided to maybe (finally) heed someone's (who I won't name here, but is in the numismatic world) advice to not plan on upgrading when you get a coin, but to purchase the best you can. Even if it means having less coins. Which now means my Franklin Philly date (business strike) collection will not get finished. I started that years ago and am about 40% into it, but I was focusing on MS 64 and 65 and I don't feel that I want to spend the dollars to finish it. I am thinking I will sell most if not all the ones I have, buy one Frankie in the best grade I can afford, and leave it at that. But I might keep my bugs bunny one, too.[/QUOTE]
