My latest morgan dollar purchase

    I'm no Morganite, but it looks like a nice, attractive coin to me. I'm sure the PL contrast shows better in person than it does in the picture. RARCOA has always gotten good marks in my book. I've bought a good bit of my gold from them in the last year or two.

    Yeah, the coin has the looks (picture-wise) of being at a slight angle. It's my first PL morgan, too. I'm thinking of snapping up a few more really nice ones. Cheap, if possible. image

    When I was doing the old 1900-preesent Modern Type set on the Registry, I had a 1904-O in PCGS MS65 PL as a type coin. (The 20th century coins are frightfully expensive in DMPL!) I think maybe it was DaBigKahuna who ended up with that '04-O after I sold off most of my nongold stuff.

    I like it.

    I want it.

    Give it up!

    I have been working hard on my Morgan collection the last few weeks, adding probably a dozen previously missing coins and upgrading another dozen.

    Yesterday I picked up a fabulous 1880-CC in MS-63. I have also added a 83-CC GSA to my Morgan collection.

    but back to your new coin, you cann;ot be trusted with it and you should send it to me for "safekeeping!"

    very nice coin.

    It's OK, but a lot of S-Mint Morgans from 1879 to 1882 are P-L. The 1881-S is easiest P-L followed by the 1879-S.

    The best P-L I've had in a while was an 1885-P in NGC MS-64, DPL. That one was like a "poor man's" proof Morgan Dollar and it was really attractive. I paid more than "bid" for it and sold it to a collector-dealer for more than "ask" and it was worth every penny.

    Might this be the start of a morgan pl registry set? Go for it!

    Cool! But once you get used to PLs you will want to go with DMPL so you may as well leave the PLs alone and buy DMPLs instead. image
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Dog is correct as usual - DMPL's are habit forming!

    Nice coin at a very good price
    careful- that light at the end of the tunnel might be a freight train!

    I want to get the DMPLs but have to wait till I get a new job with lots more $$$ image Of course, the true gem will be a cameo DMPL. But I fancy that is a very, very expensive coin!

    I just happened on it. I know the early san fran morgans are exceptional which means you can get nice ones at bargain prices. I'm hoping to get even better common date ones. I used to try to build a date set, but found that I enjoy getting what I enjoy. image

    I have a 1903 (or 4, can't remember) MS64 with lots of green toning. Ought to post a picture of it next week.
