<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1027618, member: 25357&quot;]The good news is that you can do it any way you want, after all it&#039;s your collection.&nbsp; In my mind, Morgan dollars are truly one of the great series to collect as far as US coins go.&nbsp; You&#039;re in for a lot of fun no matter how you do it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can give you some insight into my experience in collecting Morgans.&nbsp; I started out looking to fill holes in a Dansco album.&nbsp; Most of the coins I bought initially were in EF and were the more common dates.&nbsp; At the time, I was paying less than $20 for most of these coins.&nbsp; As the album started to fill up, I noticed that many of the key dates were out of my budget even in EF.&nbsp; So I filled some of those holes with VF coins over the years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then, as some coins are more readily available in uncirculated grades, more and more of the Morgans in my album became B/U.&nbsp; The next step in the process was to upgrade those VF-EF coins to uncirculated examples.&nbsp; I&#039;m still in the process of doing that. Right now most of my collection is AU-MS63.&nbsp; But many of the key dates are still in VF.</p><p>I&#039;ve been building the collection for over 5 years now, and it never gets boring.&nbsp; It&#039;s a really great series; who doesn&#039;t like the look and feel of a big chunk of silver, minted over 100 years ago, with a really neat design and some great history behind it?&nbsp; I&#039;d also recommend &quot;A Complete History and Price Guide to Morgan Silver Dollars&quot; by Q David Bowers.&nbsp; This book will give you direction and some good ideas for assembling a collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
