Good luck I guess. That's quite a project to take on, experienced collectors try something like this after years of collecting and with a large financial backing. Keep us updated.

Did you forget the Proof Morgans

That's quite a challenge. The Morgan set alone is going to set you back quite a few large. Best of luck and remember to post pictures.  |

Awesome goals! Keep track of what you spend on each project. I would be curious as to what each would cost.

Did you forget proof Morgans Of course not. But not many collect full sets of proof classic coins, simply because of their prices. That would be quite a feat, especially the 1895. After I finish selling a good few coins that I can't appreciate, I'm going to purchase quite a few Morgans and a Seated Half that was purchased for me (I need to pay the person!). I've decided on pursuing the Morgan set first. |

The 1879 is QUITE the looker, which kinda justifies my spending too much money on it... Kinda.... Not really... Anyway, the 1879 and the 1904 morgans were submitted to PCGS by me, and the next two raw coins I will submit to PCGS next time.   Then, the 1904-O  Then the two raw coins that were previously in NGC slabs, both labeled MS63.   Edited by Cruisinfusion

As a fellow YN, I wish you luck. I've seriously considered a certified Morgan set and a PCGS type set along with many other sets but they've never really taken off. I've gone through many serious collecting phases though, and now I have many small subsets including dies & collars, dime errors, and now original and restrike u.s. mint medals from 1920 to present. I dont foresee changing interests, but I guess it's inevitable. Also, how was the process of submitting to pcgs? I have my vouchers which I will use when I'm at the ANA show this August - I don't want to waste money shipping them to pcgs so I thought this would be better. Lol |

What is the estimated cost for all these Morgans (if you tried to put it all together today)?

wait, I'm confused  Why are you looking for old pre-'33 gold in the other post but on this post you've gone as far as apologizing to old gold collectors for it not being your cup of tea? |

Yep! @dsfreeworld
I like the Indian heads and Saint gaudens, but the Liberty heads just aren't my thing. I'm experimenting, finding my niche and what I like.

Well, that depends. I'd like to get as many MS coins as I can, but the rarer dates like in the mid 1890s will have to be in lower grades. I would estimate over, maybe far over, $30,000, including major varieties, dates, and mintmarks.

Sounds like a really cool idea man. Good luck!

Keep us updated. OK! Here's a new coin that my Mom got for me. Should get here in the next few weeks. MS-64+ PCGS, maybe MS-65 with a resubmission. My apologies about the crummy photos.   Edited by Cruisinfusion

that is quite the lofty goal! first coin I bought was 1893S Morgan in VF25 NGC Strangely that is the only Morgan I bought that was not just for bullion. Thought if I kept a key date like that for 15 or 20 years it would go up in value. That was maybe 4 years ago and the value is about the same now. If you save up enough money for the 1893S let me know as I have found other coins more interesting.

By the way, have you gotten the 1856 O half pictured in your avatar yet? I was hoping you have bought/received it by now.
