[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 56737, member: 1892"]Caveat: I'm the barest rookie at this collecting stuff. Having said that, one reason I'm concentrating on Morgans for my first collection is my faith in their long-term investment value. I feel that value is based as much upon demand as scarcity, and the sheer availability of these coins at great ages and relative quality generates a market for them. They're big, pretty and [i]available.[/i] Therefore, I forsee demand continuing unabated in the future, especially among those just entering the realm of collecting. Further, such a large market keeps me from having to collect rarities which engender the most interest among serious collectors, most of whom are richer than me. :) Not being an expert, I can only suspect that relatively-rare Morgans command higher prices at given mint quantities than other rarities. Either way, I've gotta sell a lot of '83s and '85s before I can begin on the Carson City dates. :) I sense some real wisdom in the clad Quarters idea. In fact, methinks I'm going to do some moving in that direction. Mint sets are probably fairly common, so I think higher MS grades are the way to go.
