<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 25748614, member: 102022&quot;]Very nice Morgan. You&#039;re very lucky to have a wife that would even attempt a coin as a gift for you. My wife has learned about silver coins, wheaties, and things that might be just a bit different, and she&#039;ll bring those finds home to me. She actually found a 1909 VDB in circulation once and brought that puppy home to me. So I&#039;m lucky in that respect. However, she&#039;d never buy a coin for me as a gift.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know you&#039;ve been around these here parts for closing in on 10 years, in a year. I also know from your posts that you focus on ancients. I think they&#039;re a cool part of history, but I know virtually less than nothing about them.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I&#039;d like to preface this next comment with the prelude that this is done with the utmost respect and not meant to offend you. With US coins the &#039;front&#039; of the coin is referred to as the obverse. You referenced the reverse of your Morgan correctly, so no comment there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, beautiful gift from your wife. Maybe she can offer a seminar for other significant others that don&#039;t share the same collecting passion as their spouse to teach them how to select an appropriate hobby related gift. I know my wife, and kids for that matter, haven&#039;t a clue what to get me. They all say I&#039;m the toughest person to buy gifts for. And I think I&#039;m the easiest person to give gifts to. I&#039;ve got numerous hobbies and collections they could add to. All it would take would be the slightest bit of CSI work to select something within my wheelhouse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
