I just picked up this little beauty. It's not that I stay away from Morgans, yet I don't seek them out either. This one caught my eye, and I had to own it.
Let's see yours too!

Only have 3. A couple I liked the color of posted

I have one toner Morgan
65 CAC
I like Morgans and have several.
They are not even one of my favorite coin designs. That said, they come in so many flavors that it’s hard not to enjoy them.

This one is counterstruck with the WRNC for the 75th anniversary.
And the second one was in a PCI holder

I may have one or two lying around here somewhere. 🤣
I have only two Morgan’s, and this is one of them. MS68, with CAC, without toning. The good news is in addition to the CAC, more importantly it has @ricko ’s coveted BW sticker (Blast White).

A Morgan Dollar
and a Morgan So-Called Dollar
I was thinking about joining the collector's club just to cross a bunch of morgans but decided I like the old ANACS slabs.
UDM should go for more than DMPL so I wouldn't cross those. Just FWIW.

Oops. Sleepy Morgan 😉

I have a few different slabbed keepers in my collection and even more that are just cool & raw.

While I like my Morgans toned, this blast white example, with a lack of any distracting hits, has always been one I’ve enjoyed.
Wow, @Zoins - the symmetry on that reverse toning is incredible!

This is one of my favorite Morgans and very fitting all the photos in this thread!
It seems like there are only two of these known, this own is mine and there's one other owned by another forum member. It's unknown if this was ever a final design as both specimens are unengraved and in mint state condition, and the Society, which still exists today, has no record of this medal.
Not a series that ever tempted me, as my local dealer had hundreds of white Morgans in his case when I was a kid and they seemed very common

Been seeing some really pretty specimens, so I'm gonna crash the party with some ugly ducklings.....

I am more of a circulated Morgan collector!
I like blast white ones and bag toned Morgans too, especially when I can prove it's bag toned with a textile pattern. Nobody will call this NGC AT, ever.
Kind of wanted a consistent look so was thinking of reholdering but with all this gradeflation talk the white one might be worth more in the old holder too. Someone might think it's worth a crackout and resubmit attempt and pay strong money. And I can pretty much guarantee a buyer it's not going to turn at this point. If it was gonna, it would have already.
Talk about a ugly Morgan!! I put a low bid on this 1 and got it. The joke was on me!🤣
I have others, but these are my three favorites, not just currently, but of all time including past coins I’ve sold:

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Here is a raw circulated 1899 - O (not to compete with the OP's coin!). Just your normal ol' Morgan except for the die break on the reverse. I was looking through several raw Morgans that I have and found this one. Thought it was interesting!

Edit: I am pretty sure this is a VAM 11A although I don't see any doubling on the 1.
Unfortunately less than 1/5th of my set has a TV but here are a few more:
I sold most of mine in September. Here's a "leftover"...

One of my first bought back Morgans since I had everything taken.
I like polished morgans so they shine better...
Amazing. This is how I would want a complete set. It’s great to be able to see them all at the same time.
