Assorted inherited Morgans for the date Album
As mentioned last week in the 1878 CC thread, I've decided to build a Morgan date album.
About 30 years ago I inherited a bunch of coins from my paternal grandparents. Most of them were fairly seriously circulated common date items. Needless to say, being inherited I enjoy having them, but given their condition I haven't really bothered much about them. A good chunk I sold and plowed the money into coins that floated my boat. Another chunk I tossed in brown paper bags, threw them in the drawer and forgot about them for 20 - 25 years. About 5 to 10 years ago I decided to inventory them, and, lo and behold, a variety of the dollars had toned up. Interestingly enough, none of the half dollars toned up.
So, none of these are particularly sexy, but it's fun to have inherited coins in an album. The coins are imaged by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

No doubt about Bob Campbell's photographic skills.... and nice old Morgans... great idea to do an album. Identify those from your Grandparents, so they follow down as a family heirloom. Cheers, RickO
Lovely coins with some sweet skin.
So nice that some of your relatives were able to pass these to an appreciative heir.
They are in good hands now and the collecting history continues.
