The 28 Days Of Morgan Dollars! (Act III)

Teaser?


Maybe this one will do:



1894 Morgan Dollar (A bit rough...)

Cascade ....good eye
GSA boxes 82, 83, 84 and 85 CC
two soft packs are 1878 CC
---------------------------------------------

Nice 1894 Moe .. one of the five I need.

If I remember right 1894 has a mintage of 110,000.
Only ones lower are the 1893 S and the 1895.

-----------------------------------------
terry8835
There are 96 different date and mint mark coins.
Most do not count the 1895 as part of a collectable
set. for 1895 there were 880 proof coins minted, no business
strikes have been found. So for most, a full set is
95 coins.

I normally have one of each major type...I succumbed to temptation and acquired another.

How about that for a teaser?

Front row: Morgan dollars taken from circulation fron the 1940s and 1950s, by relatives. The last one taken from circulation was in 1957 or 1958, at the Louisville, KY airport. I was present when that one was received in change. I don't recall which of the 6 front-row Morgans it was.

Middle row: 3 tubes (60) Morgan dollars, purchased as bullion silver (but in EF condition, so not truly junk silver.) These are all very common dates.

Back row: Morgan dollars from the GSA CC hoard, purchased back in the 1970s directly from the government. I have individual pics of these, and will post some of them (one per year) to this thread when the time comes.

A few of those were originally purchased by my father, after seeing the ones I was getting. I suppose those would be two-owner GSAs?

Also note: some of those in the back row just empty boxes, since the most expensive GSA CCs are in the safety deposit box.

Although I do have a few "choice" Morgan dollars that I have separately photographed and will share on the appropriate days, most of my collection of Morgan dollars consists of unsorted and unphotographed tubes that I obtained back when I was stacking silver. I checked for rare dates, of course, but that was about it. I also have a number of DMPL examples that I keep in individual capsules to protect them, but once again I haven't bothered to individually photograph them.

Anyway, here's the lot:

Talk about teasers!! These pictures are delicious!!
