Guys, I guess I should have mentioned that this isn't my first set of Morgans. In fact, this is number four. I've posted album pages of all of them over in the member's photo gallery. When you've got the time, ease on over there and check them out if you'd like.

Maybe you can make a super-set out of the 4 you have? Take the best of each coin from the 4 and put them together.

Doing the same with 1892-1964 half dollars. No uncirculated coins are allowed, except the 2 Kennedy halves. It's been fun so far. Nice collection, btw. Edited by DoubleEagle20

GR58 - I hear ya on wanting more - love those Morgans - 'bout all I've been collecting lately - guess it shows..... On any given day, there will be a five digit number of Morgans for sale/auction/BIN just on ebay alone - many more available through other avenues I'm sure. |

coinlover168 - don't know if I'll ever be able to afford a "super set", but I've been working on the first set, trying to get it as close to uncirculated as possible for quite awhile now. A lot of the coins that have trickled down to the other sets are upgraded coins from the first one.

Paul Bulgerin - surprisingly, the 1893S wasn't all that expensive due to the fact it was graded and slabbed by NGC "Good Details....Improperly Cleaned". A cleaned coin seems to be a bad thing for many in this hobby, and, if my primary concern was the value of a coin, I suppose it would be a bad thing in my mind, too; however, I'm a coin collector rather than a coin investor. That mind set has allowed me to keep this amazing hobby we all share as fun and exciting today as it was when I first began.
