    Here's a REAL Morgan I bought for about the same price as that bullion one!

    Why would anyone overstrike an original work of art like this?

    My guess is the ones that are struck over are not QUITE that nice.

    But WHY would someone buy an $80-$115 ruined REAL Morgan that's been turned into bullion, when they can have this for roughly the same price? (I know, I know, because "to each his own." Sigh...).

    from the New Orleans Mint, too. Not Moonlight Mint.

    About how many real morgans are there in all years, worth about this amount? More than 2,000? I have zero interest in them because of this. Common equals boring to me.

    Common but unique. Not like all the blandly struck, same looking 1,964 clones coming from Moonlight.

    Just looked up some "coin facts." There are an estimated 72,000 MS65 or better 1885-O morgans (worth more than a DC piece). There are an estimated 6,800 PL of this date in MS60 or better, and 4,500 in DMPL in 60 or better. There will be less than 2,000 of the DC versions. That is a lot more attractive to me.

    Then buy a lower graded one he is selling, or "handle" it a little yourself. Then you have a one of a kind piece :)

    I'll take a Dan Carr 64d overstrike over just about any morgan, aside a killer cherrypick of coarse, in its price range right now while it's still available at issue price. And you know me. You either get it or you don't @C-B-D and frankly I'm a little shocked at your position on this brother :( to each their own though.

    Correct. He uses low grade Morgans that still have the correct weight.

    Run your numbers for 64 PL and DPL, instead of padding the numbers for your argument.

    There are 1,841 pieces in 64 or better PL and DMPL combined at PCGS. Even if you double that to include the other TPG's, it crushes your argument that 1,964 DC Morgans are more "rare." Besides. Mine is a piece of history and Dan's is a piece of bullion. But again to each his own yada yada yada. :woot:

    I got mine raw on ebay for a killer price, which is the way you have to do this comparison in my case... since to buy a 64 PL or DMPL will cost you more than one of the DC bullion pieces. Still, you can make it happen.
