<p>[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 714130, member: 19456"]I feel the same way about Morgans. Everybody seems to love them but the design just doesn't do anything for me. I have three, and I inherited all of them...I can't see spending the prices asked of them to aquire anymore, although maybe in 50 years when I've completed the smaller denomination coins I will have nothing left to buy except Morgans, LOL. EDIT: Let me clarify that: I don't really dislike Morgans. I just think that they are not the greatest design in US coinage and I think the prices asked for many of them are higher then they should be and therefore I don't buy them. If I found some in the condition I liked and at a price I feel is proper in relation to what the coin really should be, I WOULD buy them as my goal is eventually, when I am really old, to have complete sets of everything. It probably won't happen but I am now 25 (as of Today) and I have many decades of planned coin puchases so who knows what the future holds! I find the Peace dollar to be the best Dollar design in history FWIW.</p><p> </p><p>Trade Dollars have a unique history in American coinage but dang, they are just too expensive for me. I am not going to spend the kind of money on a coin that could get me a classic car...it's just not going to happen, ever (If I had that kind of money to play with, it WOULD be on classic cars, not coins!) </p><p> </p><p>I like seated coins but I find very few that fit the look I like, and even fewer fit the look I like at a price I can easily afford. </p><p> </p><p>It's all a matter of personal opinion![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
