<p>[QUOTE="fusiafinch, post: 780748, member: 18382"]Congratulations on collecting Morgans! I collect a variety of coins, but Morgans are one of my favorite series. I started out collecting what I liked in the series and bought the highest grade I could afford for each one. I especially like rainbow toned dollars. After I bought a few coins, I started to focus on some aspects of the series, like the 1878 8 tail feathers first issue, or getting an example of each mint mark, or getting a run of dates from a mint, etc. I bought all PCGS or NGC coins, because I found out early that buying Morgan and Peace dollars from some of those mail order dealers with huge double page ads turned out to be cleaned or lightly circulated. So I stuck to the slabbed coins and I haven't been sorry. I also like to buy some nice looking AU coins just so that I could handle them directly and not worry about wear. Sometimes, I even carry one as a pocket piece!</p><p><br /></p><p>luilot above posted a nice link on Amazon to Q. David Bowers book on Morgans, and this is a great beginning guide to the series.
