<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2966851, member: 5233&quot;]So, my all-time favorite US coin is the Morgan Dollar.&nbsp; It always has been and it always will be.&nbsp; One of my earliest &quot;coin memories&quot; is my dad showing me an 1886 Morgan that his grandmother had given him.&nbsp; This was just after I had started to get interested in collecting (not long after I saw his Whitman folder with the &quot;amazing&quot; 1943 cents). </p><p><br /></p><p>As I got into the hobby more and more as a kid, I started to pick up Morgans and put them in a Dansco.&nbsp; Most of what I have are common dates but some better one&#039;s and a couple problem coins because I could afford them (1893 with graffiti, 1893-CC cleaned) to fill the holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>My ultimate dream was a registry style high grade set.&nbsp; Over the last 20 years, I haven&#039;t picked up many Morgan&#039;s because I don&#039;t have the finances to really dive into a high end set enough and didn&#039;t want to sell myself short.&nbsp; So, I sorta just studied the coin and dreamed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The more I studied the set, the more I realized that it might be fun to just assemble a lower grade date/mm set.&nbsp; It still would be challenging hunting down attractive problem free coins but if I limited myself to the VG-F range, it would probably be doable.&nbsp; Plus, it would be a very uniform set and a fun project.&nbsp; This is probably the only grade range I would be able to get the 1889-CC and 1893-S in anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>I figure this would make a nice Dansco album set. </p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, part of me feels like not going for the highest grade possible is somehow &quot;cheating&quot; but I don&#039;t know why I feel that way.&nbsp; I think this is a project that I could reasonably do and enjoy doing it.&nbsp; Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I would probably just start from scratch.&nbsp; The coins I collected as a kid are in a Dansco...and I&#039;d probably just leave them as is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
