<p>[QUOTE="Ana Silverbell, post: 7562651, member: 75156"]I normally do not allow myself to be drawn into those "Ads" that entice you look at a list of "The 10 Most Overrated Bands in Rock History," or "Adorably Ferocious Beast Sneaks Up on Photographer." You page through a picture and caption of mostly mindless babble so I rarely take the bate. On this occasion, I could not help myself. This one was entitled, "These Collectible Items Simply Aren’t Worth All That Much Anymore." The click-bate picture was a Morgan dollar so how could I resist. I had to see what the Ad said. After looking at Antique Train Sets, Beanie Babies, Modern Star Wars toys, and Norman Rockwell Collector plates, to name a few, I finally arrived at the "Morgan Dollars."</p><p><br /></p><p>The caption said, "When mentioning the word Morgan Dollars to a grandparent, their eyes might just light up a little. These valuable coins came into circulation two centuries ago, and demand for them in the 1920’s was incredibly high. Unfortunately, as supply increased, their value dropped exponentially. These days, you’re more likely to earn a decent return from selling your grandmother’s silver set than trying to get a seller willing to fork out a couple of dollars.
