twholt New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 9:06 pm I haven't collected long, but these are the Morgan dollars that I have gotten in the short time I have collected. Just wanted to get a little feed back because I don't know much yet. Report this Post to the Staff

Darth Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 2815 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 10:08 pm You started collecting Morgan dollars, which means you are already winning. My favorite coin- kinda obvious given my forum name and avatar. Report this Post to the Staff

Some of the smartest people on the subject are members of this community. Ask many questions, and learn. I commend your first choice of coins to collect, but be warned.....Morgan Dollars are addictive. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 2:03 pm If you are going to actively collect Morgan dollars I recommend you get the Red Book's Guide to Morgan dollars by Q. David Bowers it is a great source of information. Quote: Morgan Dollars are addictive. HA! Coin collecting is addictive. I am not a Morgan dollar collector and many others who are not have the same affliction as the die hard Morgan dollar collectors have. Darth Morgan, I want your avatar coin. That peripheral blue toning is awesome. Report this Post to the Staff

twholt New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 4:37 pm Thank you for all the replies. I don't have many Morgans yet because they are more expensive. The ones I have I have gotten from pawn shops that were selling them pretty close to spot value on them. I am thinking of starting a WL half book because I have way more of those than anything. Also I am almost done with my Roosevelt book that goes up to 1963 or 64 one, I am only about 5 spots shy of having it completed. Did I over pay for the Morgans I posted? I gave about $18-$20 each for them at different places. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 5:14 pm At that price you couldn't have overpayed unless you're a dealer :) you did good!... as a rule of thumb ANY low grade Morgan, no matter the condition, unless it's cut in half is valued at least $5 over silver spot retail. You got it at $3-$4 over. And those have decent eye appeal for what they are Edited by Cascade 04/26/2015 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
