Just watched a rerun of the 2000's series Las Vegas with Tom Sellick. The episode included a poker game where one player lost their stake and bet all in with an 1895 Morgan. She Lost the hand and the coin to Tom, who promptly filled his last Dansco hole.
I started watching Billions this past weekend now that I get Showtime with my Paramount+ subscription.
In Season 1 Episode 10 "Quality of Life" Chuck comes home and finds his dad there. He says he found his Indian Head penny collection. It looks like it is in the old style blue Whitman album that did not have removable pages.

It's a bit of an irony because the episode takes place a couple years before the Morgan was introduced.
