“No matter where you go in coin collecting, Morgans always steal the show”

To direct such a comment to a large group of collectors with varying collecting preferences, sounds silly to me.

It can seem silly to you. Morgans are still the kings of any coin show, and the King of US numismatics. It has always been that way. It will not change in the foreseeable future. Morgans get more attention and will outsell any other coin type, and that there are so many of them just fuels the business even more.

Do they steal the show at an EAC show? What about the NY International?

In other words “No matter where” and “always” pretty much guaranteed that the statement was incorrect.

I don't disagree. But a little hyperbole never hurts. Lol.

They are popular and responsible for a lot of business at shows. But I'm pretty sure if I walk into a show with a circulated 1794 half, even the Morgan dollar aficionados will turn to look. And I can think of at least a dozen rarities that would "steal the show" even at a Morgan club meeting. Lol.
