About This Forum And My Many Silver Dollar Submissions, Please Chime In

@KauaiHawaiiGuy, one of the goals should be to assemble a solid grading set. It doesn't matter if the coins are silver shrapnel for the melt pot or collectible, a complete common grade-range set is vital for assessing what you see online or in shows.

In today's market, a circulated grading set has to include AG-3, G-4, G-6, VG-8, VG-10, F-12, F-15, VF-20, VF-25, VF-30, VF-35, EF-40, EF-45, AU-50, AU-53, AU-55, and AU-58 examples. To these, I would add the emerging grade that hasn't been recognized (yet): EF-48 (AU slider). You have enough coins that you probably can do this.

The MS set needs to include the single-point coins from MS-60 to MS-66. This can be pesky to assemble.

I would also suggest a "details" set of the three biggies: cleaned, questionable color (unnatural/artificial toning), and environmental damage.

That's 28 coins, and they would give you the in-hand guidance for future purchases. From the coins you have posted, I think you already have almost half of the circulated grades and all three of the details set.

I would avoid the 1921 Morgans for this set, because of design and strike differences from the 1878-1904 Morgans.

JMHO.

I thought that this thread died, but I see that a couple of comments revived it in the just past 2 days, so I'll say my final 2 cents worth, and hopefully end this once and for all.

First, this entire thing began when somebody here at this forum got their panties all scrunched up in a bunch because their coins were not the star attraction for one day. I sure would like to say a lot about that, but since it was my posts that were the object of derision by this individual, and a number of the grown ups here at this forum have already made some excellent comments about playing nice with others, I'll just leave it at that.

The only thing I will add and in my own defense is this, to those folks with the scrunched up panties. I don't over post, I never have. And since there are no "over posting" rules, I don't think it's even possible to do so. I've never posted more than 5 on any day, and only posted 5 two days in a row once. Some days I post none or just two or three. The only reason this was even an issue, was that somebody here was kind enough to grade a number of my coins in a row, and regardless that I posted them over a months time, they all showed up together like I was posting 10 or 15 or more at a time ..... which I didn't. So to conclude. If you can't handle not being the center of attention for even a day, I suggest buying bigger panties.

I said I would abide by the consensus, and the consensus has been overwhelmingly post away. So I will.

And now I would be thrilled to see this thread just fade away into the sunset.

Kauai that last bit was rather disappointing

Perhaps Kauai should create a single post, like the "show your latest" threads, and add to it daily. Those of us who want to follow along or comment can do so in a single place with minimal impact on other posters.
