<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2846710, member: 36864"]I'm not really a Morgan collector as I feel that they are severely overpriced generally, but when I find MS Morgan's for $25 each I'll empty my pockets and buy as many as possible. The owner gave me her information and said that she would accept a bank wire if I wanted the rest. I don't think that I'll buy them all, but I'll take a few more rolls off of her hands. </p><p><br /></p><p>That Liberty cover would be interesting to see. I wonder who ripped off whom there. Although it predates the half release in 1916, I don't know when the design was initially proposed and made public. Definitely a piece to grab. My only similar find was a plaster bust of Lincoln made by Victor David Brenner. I haven't been able to find out much about it yet, but the profile is very similar to the Lincoln cent. It's been suggested that it may have been an early study piece for the eventual final design, but I haven't been able to determine if that is correct or not and have found no evidence to support that theory. I plan to bring it to the Whitman show next year to see if anyone can identify it or its purpose. It may end up just being fake, but I've enjoyed it anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
