IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

High-XF or Low-AU. Can't beat the price.

Panzaldi- I tried to squeeze that info out of him too but he's not giving out his honey hole!

Given how sharp all of you are, I didn't think this was much of a secret. It is this super secret site that has really exclusive membership requirements. Recall I get 2% cash back from my very exclusive credit card.  super duper awesome honey pot"...and how many did you grab?" lost count but clearly not enough my friend.

Given your recent post about assembling rolls of BU Morgans, it seems apparent that you are putting together rolls of certain date/mm Morgans. I think that's a great project and one that will likely pay off at some point. I hadn't thought of doing that, but I'm pretty well along on 1900-O and 1880-O rolls (about half of which are NOT MS.) I have about 20 1878 Morgans, but nearly all are circulated VAM examples. Have fun and keep showing them to us! Edited for spelling...

I have this Forest Gump "life is like a box of chocolates" philosophy where I try to avoid chasing after things. I try to let things flow to me and try to be discerning about what I say yes to. That's why I don't do date/mint sets, rolls or chase after specific items. It's more fun for me to wake up every day and see what shows up when digging around. It's not for everyone as people tend to like more structure in their collecting. It works for me and folks should do what works for them. But most people know what they like. The overarching theme is collect what you like and how you like. Hard to go wrong with that.

I admire your Gumpish approach. I'm quickly heading in that direction myself. I tend to look at only 4-5 different year/mm Morgans because they seem to have the most interesting die anomalies. When I start seeing "XXXX Morgan #20", I will be able to say @NS has a roll of this or that Morgan even though he didn't start out with that in mind.  I would enjoy that particular direction myself.

To paraphrase Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Nooo, not the dip...!
Still at AU details/cleaned, but you paid about what you should have.
