[QUOTE="Blasty, post: 8214119, member: 38375"]Call me weird but I like it. I was excited for the 2021 dollars until I learned that they would not be true to the original .900 fine composition.

Basically, (and this is my opinion) this is not really a Morgan dollar as much as a commemorative tribute to the design, so I haven't bought any.
