TMCD75 Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 8:32 pm Didn't Jack Lee put together the very best set of Morgan dollars known to exist? Was this set both, proof and BU or just a BU set? The 89CC would cost a fortune in MS 67 or 68. What would it cost to put that set together today?

TMCD75 Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 11:14 pm I'm sorry, I meant the Jack Lee collection. Larry Lee is a coin guy in Florida who is also known to spend a buck or two on exotic coins. Anyway yes, the Jack Lee collection is what I'm referring to. Report this Post to the Staff

Of course his collection was of PF and SP examples. Jack Lee assembled the finest set of Business Strike and Proof Morgans ever in one place. Then he sold the collection. It is to this day the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Morgans. There were 175 coins in that set (including PL and DMPLs, and 172 of them were either the sole highest-graded or tied for it. And then he built it a second time. There are at least four coins from that set which stand a good chance of becoming the first million-dollar Morgans: the 1884-S in MS68(!), the 1889-CC in MS68 (which transacted at $880,000 in 2013), the 1893-S in MS67, and the incomprehensible 1896-S in MS69. Those four alone will be $3.5-4 Million of your money. Report this Post to the Staff
