Think I got my $210 worth ? Usually my Morgans get liberated from their slabs, but I think I'll keep this one encapsulated for posterity, since it's a bit of an oddity.

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 12:24 pm Yeah, I think you got your $210 worth. That's a top-of-the-market price at AU53, but a very much in-demand variety which is about as liquid as a coin gets. Report this Post to the Staff
CitizenPatriot Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 12:58 pm Thanks, SuperDave. This shop must've come into a slew of slabbed Morgans - he had 50 or more on display, many of them in the MS63-MS-65 range.....I was practically drooling onto the glass.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/13/2012 2:13 pm I fell in love with this variety when I first started collecting and had 15 of them when I finally decided to stop buying them. I have no idea what I found so interesting but its strange what you can be obsessed with at certain times Report this Post to the Staff

CitizenPatriot Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 01/15/2012 3:03 pm Yes, it's a nice little shop that get LOTS of foot traffic - Abbott's Coins & Jewelry in Birmingham, MI. Beyond the nice assortment of slabbed Morgans, they always have a whole box full of Morgans in "flips" to peruse..... I gotta have 2 or 3 hundred bucks in my pocket to go in there....I can always find something that catches my eye. Report this Post to the Staff
