[QUOTE="YoloBagels, post: 7563503, member: 94739"]I believe the biggest plus of Morgan dollars, and the thing that puts them apart from other sets, is that they are extremely affordable in low-mid MS grades compared to other series. For the price of an MS64 1877 (common date) Seated Quarter, you could buy almost a whole roll of common date MS63 Morgans.
