Hey everyone, I had a family member who passed along in early 2011 that was an avid collector. His favorites were Morgan dollars, which he eventually got a full set excluding the 1893-S.

I have vague memories of him being on some sort of forum when I was about 5 in the early 2000's, though I'm not really sure which one. Anyway due to some legal issues (theft) I need evidence that he owned some coins up to his untimely passing. There was a caretaker that took advantage of his late wife after he passed and most likely nabbed it.

He loved computers and technologies, and even received some coins from "Paul- Forum"

If anyone has leads about a Morgan collector on here that stopped posting Spring 2011, please say something. Thanks

@gold, I'm sorry to hear that things are in a bit of a mess. Do you have any inking as to what username this family member might have used here? That would make the search much easier. If not, then you could try searching either in this subforum or the VAM subforum with keywords such as MORGAN and specific dates on the off chance that they posted about their coins.

Added: I found a couple "post your Morgan" threads, one of which dates back to 2011. I'm sure there are others, but this is what I found in a quick search:
