[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1921891, member: 24633"]You've just answered your own question. My favorite is the Morgan, but if you wanted to collect these, there are 96 for all dates and mintmarks just to fill a Dansco, and that doesn't include the "staple varieties" like the 8TF, 7TF, 7/8TF, 78 Reverse, 79 Reverse, O/S and O/CC. The next thing you'd need to consider is whether you want to build a set with similar grades or not. Would you be happy looking at coins ranging from VG - Gem UNC next to one another? If not, then you're going to find that, just in XF, there are 5-6 coins that will easily run into 4-digit prices. Now, suppose you wanted to build your set in, say MS60. There would be 13 coins that would run into 4-digit prices and 4 that would run into 5-digit prices. Just these 17 coins could cost you $200K+. And, these are just MS60's that have hits and bag marks all over them. Let's take it one step further. The 80-S and 81-S are two of the nicest strikes in the whole series, and they are knock down gorgeous and easily affordable in MS64/65 with tons of luster. Would you be happy looking at these coins next to run-of-the-mill XF's? If you want my opinion, go for the Peace dollars. You've already stated that you like them. Chris[/QUOTE]
