Morgan Dollar Collection

I was given my first Morgan dollar, an 1882o, by an American colleague of my Mother's in 1976. A few years later my parents were visiting the same lady in Dallas and she had a whole lot of Morgans - she asked my Mother if she wanted one - and my Mom pulled out a 1921s, as it was her year of birth! (Would have been nice if she'd been born in 1895, but my birth would then have been biologically impossible). That coin later ended up in my collection. It was when I discovered my first American LCS on a business trip in 2003 that I started buying other dates. I have been trying to get one coin for every date (not mint) of issue and now am missing just 1893 and 1895. I haven't got any slabbed Morgans - the condition is mostly VF to about MS62. Perhaps I may move onto mintmarks and VAMs later. There are no other 19th-century foreign crown size coins that I've ever attempted to collect by date like this - Morgans are definitely addictive!

fasttalker...That is an interesting way to collect Morgans. I like it.

I have a complete set of CC Morgans and that was tough enough.
One thing you MUST be aware of is that the Chinese are making forgeries of the many key dates, so you would have to reply on the top TPG's and they are costly, and even the slabs are now being copied.
Good Luck

A set of Morgans in certainly a daunting and expensive task.

I "only" have 43 and am not even halfway there. The good news is I'm only 49 so I plan on completing other less expensive sets at this point in my life with 4 kids, 2 in college etc...

Morgans, a high grade Type set, US Gold are for when I retire.

"That is quite interesting! What grade would you suggest buying each coin in depending on the rarity?"

I set a monthly coin buying budget and try very hard not to go over that amount. If I have money left over from one month, then it rolls over into the next month. Therefore, I usually start in fairly low grades for the tougher dates and rarities. When I find a good to upgrade to, I always sell the one being replaced...and then add that amount to the budget (usually to pay for the replacement!).
I enjoy the "hunt" part of collecting. Therefore I rarely use ebay as I like to "find" the coins the hard way! This keeps the "upgrading" exciting. And it keeps the collection growing as I either am looking for coins to fill a void or for upgrades. If I find one and it is not within my budget, I note it and walk away...after negotiating of course ;)
I do this with my 3c silvers and 3c nickels and 20c pieces.
My boys love helping me do this as it gives them something to focus on when we go to shows or shops. They are still young (9,7,4 and one due any day) so they can get overwhelmed when going to shows.

Even in Airtites, I am careful where I keep my coins and wouldn't want them near plywood. Plywood is full of resins, glues and chemicals that could possibly (not for sure but wouldn't want to risk it) harm your investment. You can't go wrong with a Dansco or Whitmann album.

Not sure about a display for the airtites except the ones that Airtite sells on their website.
