I think I get it, you want to pick a year and get all the different coins from that particular year. I would suggest getting a RedBook and it should be pretty easy to check for a year that has the best availability. |

Perhaps our OP is wanting to assemble a year set of dollars? That's quite doable and far less expensive in the long run. I long ago completed a year set of Morgans, assembled in a DANSCO album.

I am sorry for the Rambling. Getting a copy of the Red Book is a good start and I will decide from there how to best expand my collection. Thanks |

If your are trying to do a date set by denomination during the years Morgans or Peace dollars were minted and the 1881 nickel is a stopper on your budget, then the Morgan era is not doable. On Peace dollars you are going to find the 1921 as a challenging year for your budget as the 1921 dollar, half and quarter are going to push your budget. On the 1928 Peace dollar you may need to do the 1928 S to stay within your budget. Edited by Slider23

Thanks for the input. I have decided to try and go the Morgan route, at least for now. I have made 3 ebay purchases and am holding my breath that the coins don't come back a total disappointment. I am ok with some Fine or maybe even some Good coins in my collection. Might be selling some property in the near future which will open up some funds, but I have no timetable for completion. Here is my first coin I got in   I was looking for coins that are visually appealing, don't have scrub marks and don't looked dipped to the point they look like King Baldwins mask. How did I do? |

The 1880 quarter and half dollar are pricy.

Update. Decided to collect a Morgan dollar from every year regardless of mint. Started out with 13 dates. Still looking out for 1903, 1893 and 1895. I have my eye on a 1903 but will likely splurge for a lowball or AG in the other two dates at Christmas or my birthday. |

I can not find a Dansco 7171 album online. I guess it's time to call some coin shops.

Sound like you have a direction to go in now - and yes, a nice Dansco date set album may help you out..
