FUN show pattern additions

boiler78boiler78 Posts: 3,116 ✭✭✭✭✭

The FUN show was very good to me this year. I was able to add six new Morgan patterns to my collection. I don't have high res images yet but I was able to add these three from Heritage's auction of the Cape Coral collection....

    Beautiful! Out of curiosity, why did they keep making patterns in 79 after the final design was adopted?

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    Your 1878 pictured has my favorite reverse.

    Do you have photos of the other three?

    Great set! Congrats!

    The other three Morgan patterns were acquired in a trade before the show opened and I only have this old Trueview of one of the coins........ the cert number is no longer valid....... Judd-1510 ex Judd/Bass PCGS 65 cam. I originally bought the coin out of the Bass sale in 1999 eventually sold it to Bob Simpson and I'm delighted to reacquire it after nearly twenty years :)

  • CatbertCatbert Posts: 8,172 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wonderful! I like the third coin's eagle design the best.

    You have the best patterns! I'd love to see those in hand, I'd imagine they glow!

  • retirednowretirednow Posts: 703 ✭✭✭✭✭

    An absolutely wonderful half dollar and dollar collection you have developed. While Bob Simpson may have a large and high grade set ...sometimes these beauties can get lost in the masses of a large registry. Not sure what you end game looks like but keep posting your additions while you build out the series. I enjoy your half dollar series of the 1877 series ...I think the greatest designs of all patterns.
