<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 466974, member: 5233"]You know, a date set of problem free VF coins is actually a very attractive set and something worth considering if you are on a budget. That can be done for reasonable cost and looks really good. In those grades your still gonna have to set aside several hundred dollars for a 1893 and an 1895 but the rest of the set should be inexpensive as long as you go for common dates. One thing I would also consider (if it was me) would be to try and get a least one example from each mint. Morgan's were minted at 5 mints...which is a lot for a series. The only date that makes you a stickler with is 1921 as that was the only year the coin was minted in Denver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it would be a very fun set to put together. Honestly, even a low grade set (as low as VG) would be fun...IMHO, the Morgan is a very attractive coin in low grades. I would look around and see if you like how the coin looks in circulated grades...look at prices and just see what you can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing to think about too is a date set of Peace Dollars. That would be much more manageable in MS60. A couple dates (1921, 1928, 1934) will set you back a few hundred each...but it's another option. MS60 would be much more affordable in Peace Dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, one big thing to consider is higher AU coins. MS60 coins don't have any circulation wear but tend to have a ton of bag marks. AU55 coins (and especially AU58) have a touch of wear but can be found with very few bag marks. They are often very attractive coins...much more attractive than MS60 and less expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
