    Except for a handfull of dates and mint marks, you can get a near complete set of Mercury dimes in G-VF for almost nothing.

    I've been a Morgan basher for a long time, probably because I fell into the trap during the Hunt brother's craze and am still recovering from the financial pain. Compared to Walkers and Mercs however, MS65 common date Morgans are a bargain today. Just make sure they're really MS65's. PCGS definitely rules in this series, IMO. I've seen NGC MS65PL's that wouldn't even make MS64 no PL at PCGS.

    Circulated grades are a different story... popular key dates have been fairly flat (you won't lose any money but you won't make any either) for a long time.

    I have to agree with Bowers' recent Coin World article on this one. - Washington quarters in MS-64/5.

    I had some good luck with circulated Washington quarters... bought a 1932-D in G4 and a 1932-S in VG8 raw at my local coin show for $50, for both. Sent them in for grading, and they came back the same grade, sold on eBay for $35 and $60 (forget which was which ATM.) My profits almost covered the communist security taxes, but not quite.

    No one seems to care much about two cent pieces in AU.

    I would disagree about MS65 Morgans. There are way too many for the market to bear. There are probably 100,000 common dates ones.
