Morgan Lovers Paradise

Collections like this are an inspiration. No, you and I won't ever put something like this together, but even for someone whose income puts them in that bracket it represents a huge commitment. And note the stories surrounding such collections when they come to market - in every case, the person responsible is described as just as committed a numismatist as the most enthusiastic among us. You don't see investors creating collections like this - just straight-up coin geeks who happen to have a lot of disposable income. They're doing it for the love of the coins, too.

Lol I love it. I usually just ask myself "Which of these would I spend someone elses money on?"




Id be willing to bet definitely over 10 million. Theres at least 1 coin thats probably a million on its own. Theres several others that are top pops and the only one in that grade which you can probably go ahead and throw price guides out the window for.

IIRC, the owner of this set basically gave Laura (of Legend Numismatics) a budget and told her to go put it together. This is the result. A fine collection, no doubt, but not worthy of the respect nor praise of some of the other Morgan collections simply due to the fact that the owner took the "throw money at it until it's nice" route rather than doing most of the legwork himself.
