<p>[QUOTE="ziggy29, post: 12707, member: 1113"]Sure. Right now, I have a spreadsheet tracking my Morgan collection. In it I list each date and mintmark, together with the *target* grade and the *actual* grade (the latter is blank if I don't have it yet). The target ranges from as low as XF-45 -- with hopefully at least traces of luster -- for the toughest of the tough ('89-CC, '93-S, though in reality I'm not sure even sure this will ever be attainable with somewhat modest means), to MS-65 for the commons. Most of the ones in between are targeted for MS-63 and MS-64. Generally, I'll opt to select a nice AU-58 with great eye appeal and just the slightest rub before I'd take a mint state coin below 63. If even MS-63 is a bit too pricey, I'd drop down to 58. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far everything's in 63-65 except for a couple of high AUs I have for tougher ones -- an '84-S (AU-55, somewhat prooflike) and '86-O and '96-O (AU-58).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
