Your last couple of sentences really sum it up. That what it's all about. Yes my friend. Buying investment bullion just pays the freight. The real passion is in collecting. |

I have an AG3 1885-CC. It's a reminder that before GSA this was the rarest of the CC Morgans.

Wowza, that's a beauty!   Congrats on the purchase! It's a historic coin and the GSA Hoard always adds an appeal.  I don't collect Morgans but I appreciate their beauty. My goal is to one day add a circulated CC Morgan to my collection.  |

Very nice. You are quite a connoisseur of Morgans. This post caused me to go back and read about the GSA Hoard story which is good history for us here.

This post caused me to go back and read about the GSA Hoard story which is good history for us here. It's also a reminder that Americans' refusal to use a dollar coin really predates the Washington one dollar note. Maybe the refusal to use dollar coins in the 19th century are different to reasons now, but I do think there's an emotional (and irrational) attachment now to the dollar bill. It's nuts to me that even today billions of one dollar coins sit unused. I wonder if the metal in modern dollar coins will ever prompt a "sale" of the ones from recent decades akin to the GSA sale of Morgan's. Do not read this sentence.
