<p>[QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 4571957, member: 89393"]My thanks, too, for your suggestions on buying Morgans. I just took a look at my spreadsheet and found that of the 77 Morgans I have—none of them are CC—only 14 of them are certified. These range from AU50 thru MS64 for the majority of the more common dates, but there are some F and VF coins on the rarer dates; my 1904-S is a very nice AU58, for example. For the most part, the majority of the other 63 raw Morgans have been bought after I became a member here, and took to heart what is here to be learned. Yes, I made some mistakes along the way, with at least a dozen whizzed, polished or badly cleaned samples, but I am of the opinion that a good many would also certify well if I chose to have them graded. Over the next year or so I plan to replace my mistakes with some certified Morgans, and I'll be basing my purchases on this helpful thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should add that I spent far more money on collecting three complete sets of the Peace Dollars.
