I really enjoy looking they these albums. I would never had guessed I would like it so much. I am really looking forward to making it better. When starting this in April 2015 ... I ask opinions on weather I should take the coins out of my Dollar date set. My dollar date set has many Better grade sets. Most said leave the date set intact. I still wonder ifI should combine the sets. I am just a middle class guy. Buying coins that cost over one or two hundred really takes some planning. I guess I am just typing out loud ...  The best course for me might be to do like I have been doing with my type set ... take the next decade to upgrade to better coins. |

Congradulation on almost completing a Morgan set. There are no bargains on the 93s, so take your time and get a quality example.

Very nice set GR! That '85 CC is glorious.  I'm way behind you with many to go, actually 30, but number is skewed a bit because I'm not putting MS examples in these albums. Putting this set together really makes one appreciate what Ralph has accomplished.  |

Your right there ... Ralph posting all his sets is the one that got me thinking
I could do a set.
The family I work for has two local coin shops. I could not have gotten
this far without their help.
Both shops watch for coins I need.

GR58 Your set looks sort of like mine minus about 8 coins. I like the 85CC as well. It is sort of a bummer that on a number of the coins it is hard to afford anything but place holders such as 1893CC and 1893-S and most of the coins from 1893-95. Even the 1896-S, 84-S and 86-0 are expensive to get in MS as are the 1901-s, 02-s, 03- and 04-S. I just spent over $300 on a 1880CC in AU50. I have tried to get most of my Morgans in at least AU, but have not been successful due to cost factors. I do need the 81CC, 85CC, 89CC and 93CC and "ouch" that will smart as well as the most of the coins from 93-95 not counting the 95 proof. Congrats on a powerful effort. You did not let the perfect become an enemy of the good. I will probably get most of mine from local coin shop since he has better lower condition coins than I see online. A Morgan in G or VG condition you buy on ebay is usually a real dog. Live long and prosper! |

Such a great set you have put together in only 18 months! Well done and I would probably want to save for the 1893 S first but with the coins that come into your shops I am sure if I tried that I would get sidetracked by the second day. Beautiful and SUPER Congrats! |

Great looking set, being in Canada I don't have access to the shops you have in the US. The LCS here do carry some but surely not the choices that you would have available there . Most of the Morgans in my date set were below the $40 mark but the remaining dozen or so will be costly... and then there's the exchange rate  Congrats on your set, it looks awesome |
