How feasible would it be to attempt a set of New Orleans Morgans? I've always been fascinated by coins from that mint (even though I currently only have one). CC's are fascinating too, although completely out of reach for me. But I think a set of O's could be a possibility?

Now, about all my current budget will allow for is a complete set of Denver Morgans.

Seeking the input of someone more familiar with the series than I.

In case you missed it, last year around this time we had a thread of The 55 Days Of New Orleans minted US coins!!

EDIT - Almost forgot about my album: Morgan O mintmark

I bought a complete set of O mint Morgan dollars at the ANA Worlds fair of money. It cost me $1225, and most of the coins were nice. So the idea is feasible. I still have the Capitol case that came with it, so I will send you a PM.
Rest in Peace

A complete set of New Orleans Morgans is very feasible although the '86 and '93 through '97 can be tough in higher grades. '90 & '91 can be difficult to find well struck examples and '03 is still over-priced.

side note - I just finished my 12th Denver mint set...

It depends on the grades you're looking for and the quality of strike. Most O-mint Morgans have notoriously weak strikes, so cherrypicking well-struck examples will take more time and money. It would be a very fun adventure though, and quite rewarding!
