You're welcome Gary. I aim to please.  I guess I should have mentioned like the others that I am working on sets but man oh man is it tough to complete one. Someday I think I will but I got stressed out about it a month ago and was losing the enjoyment out of just collecting and now I don't think about completing anything, just enjoying what I have and what I can afford to get. |

I only do type sets.
My first in XF - MS 63 completed in 1990. Took years!
My second in MS 60 - MS 65. Took a lot less time but much more $$$$$$$$$$$.
My Third in MS 65 and above. Not complete and I am convinced it never will be. Sheesh! I am not breaking any of these out of slabs so it is much less enjoyable than the others. There is just "something" about the Dansco that makes them great to review.
My fourth (started in 1989) All coins must be counterfeit. I will let my great, great, grandson complete this one. I have only found 22 coins for this one including a very nice 1893 S Morgan that was actually circulated. I still don't understand how, but the evidence of circulation is undeniable. The rest were very fake.
My next type is going to be.... ? Suggestions? Perhaps proofs all. No way!!

Find, and consult with, Swamperbob at this forum. He can be of assistance with your counterfeit search. Beyond that, I suggest you look into patterns. It seems to suit your outlook. |

No Carson City Morgan dollars were produced in 1895. The 95's consisted of the 1895 Proof, the 1895O and the 1895S and all 3 are highly regarded coins, in any condition. They, for the most part, are costly coins to add to a collection with the proof being the grand daddy of them all in thousands of dollars ($30,000.00 and upward). |

As IrishRaider states: " 0. None. Nada. Zilch. El Grande Zippo."
The coins I collect are WAYYYY too difficult to finish coin sets.
TKC!
I'm kind of working on the US type sets and the common dates Morgans in AU+ or higher.
TKC!

I forgot to add that I completed an uncirculated American silver eagle set 1986-2005, all inclusive, that was developed year by year as I sent a new coin to my youngest cousin for his birthday during his childhood. So, it is actually his completed set.
