Congratulations!  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."

 Congrats on reaching your goal. That is indeed a big book of silver. Is there an organizing principle in how the coins are laid out in the pages? |

Most I would say - It's amazingly easy to win on Great Collections auctions when yo are bidding against dealers - they only bid so high on circulated Morgans! Ooops, I gave my secret away. Hmm, things to ponder  |

Is there an organizing principle in how the coins are laid out in the pages? Yeah - it's a heavy album but I forgot to weigh the album empty to compare it to filled - I guess I can multiply the weight of a Morgan/Peace dollar x 48 but that wouldn't give an accurate weight. And no to an organized anything - I change my collecting preferences when I get bored - I was filling it with high mintage UNC examples then I switched to liking how lower mintage circulated examples look......... |

yeah, I'm a fan of big ol' silver dollars. the older the better... my collecting preferences shift from time to time, but when I started my morgan albums (third attempt) I decided I would just install whatever I could get, so I have a mix of everything... toners, culls, BU, and everything in between. even better if I can identify the VAM attribution. it's inspiring to see a full album. |
