[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 2357892, member: 42727"]I think you hit the nail squarely on the head with your post. Half the fun is wading through a morass of coins to find that "one" that meets your eyes. As [USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER] stated earlier, all morgan's have contact marks, abrasions and imperfections based on the way they were minted and stored. But we also know that these imperfections are not consistently in the same areas and/or of the same severity. Looking at hundreds/thousands of coins to find the ones that meet "your" criteria is time consuming, but in the end, very rewarding when you find that "one" that you want to add. Here's one I'm very, very happy with. I looked a long time to find this date/mm in a GSA that met my requirements. When this happens, I'm happy to pay a premium for the coin.
