<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1313929, member: 33215"]I am not the biggest fan of the morgan dollar, but I do like all coins that have somebody's personal impression of Lady Liberty. My favorite ones are (Of course) The WL half by Adolph Weinman and the Mercury dime by Adolph Weinman. My next favorite would be anything Charles E. Barber made, even pattern type coins. But not the biggest fan of the morgan. The only reason I know of it being so popular is that peoople buy it for the Junk value because it is easily obtainable and more silver in one coin. Also, with the UNC Morgans, I think you are almost right with the luster but also the public appeal. People want to complete their sets of Morgans and some people just want the best Registry set of Morgans. MS grades of the Morgan is quite common but lower grade ones are more common because they were actually used on a day to day basis (nothing at all like the presidential dollars now) </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2c worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cannyn[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
