<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BUncirculated, post: 1314807, member: 29581&quot;]Rodeoclown, my suggestion to you would be, if you haven&#039;t done so already, is pick up Bowers&#039; Guide Book to Morgan Dollars as it is considered by many to be the best historical of the Morgan dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Chris has pointed out, there were numerous years the Morgans were struck and immediately bagged for storage in the vaults of the Philadelphia Mint, and eventually, the vaults at the Federal Reserve due to the Philadelphia vaults were filled to capacity. The fact that there was a small amount of circulation by your grandfather would only serve as a very small number of Morgans being circulated. </p><p><br /></p><p>The popularity of the Morgan was in the western territories/states in saloons and gambling houses, and not so popular on eastern side of the country, where greenbacks were more the norm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
