Peace / Morgan Dollars Opinions
noob
Posts: 13
I've been visiting this forum for a while and finally got myself registered so I can post. 
I've been collecting for only about a yr now (mainly interested in the platinum series) but as I was visiting the family over the holidays I was telling my aunt about my new found love of coins and she very generously gave me her stash. There were about 50 coins stuffed in envelope consisting of mostly Kennedy half dollars but I did find some goodies. There were a few other decent coins but they were so worn you couldn't even read the dates on them.
I'm a modern guy and I'm way out of my league here so I was looking for advice as to what you think I should do? Are any of these worth getting slabbed?

Those are pretty cool coins, very nice of her to give them to you!
None are worth getting slabbed, in my opinion.

Not a bad group, but nothing that would reap much benefit from slabbing. I think your images are pretty good, wish I could do the same.
Best of luck!

I agree to get yourself a Redbook.
I would start putting them in Dansco albums.
It's great to take them out and look through the albums.

1st Welcome with open arms
2nd- you little piss ant- did he say he wants to slab them?????
As you can see there are a few here that have not a clue as to what they say- but keep coming back and ask questions from all that HAVE knowledge in what you seek.
and for those that have yet to ascertain knowledge- PLEASE refrain from dumbass comments on getting items slabbed.
show us your #1 collections...
I agree, nice coins
No need to slab
Nice start on a classic collection!

LMAO! Technically no, he just asked if they were worth slabbing.
Oh, and nice handle, Noob!
You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

When you call me names and ramble on like a a$$h0le it really turns me off to the whole classics era. Excuse me from asking questions to learn from some of the more knowledgeable people in the numismatic community. The reason why more people choose to collect moderns than classics is because a$$h0les like you.
All I simply asked was for advice/opinions for the few coins I inherited. I never implied they were rare or significant. This forum is for the coin collecting community; if you don't like someone's thread don't post to it.

Thank you for your advice/opinions. It is very much appreciated, but I think I'm going to stick with the modern "crap", and avoid the MORGANGOD. What a dick.

A good choice ! Welcome to the world of Plat Lovers.
Everybody loves Platinum - even if they won't admit it in Numis Circles.
My Grandfather gave me a batch of 40's Walkers many years ago.
After he passed, I decided I wanted to slab the best one simply in remembrance of him.
Sure, it was only a 43-S and it only graded MS63, but that wasn't the point.
Today it is framed along with his college graduation portrait, his diploma, and the coin in a shallow shadowbox frame.
It's worth more to me than my 89-CC Morgan. You see, I'd sell the 89, the Walker will never be for sale and will go to my son one day.
Just remember, the advice you get around here, while often invaluable, is still only worth what you paid for it.
Do what you like, collect what you like and preserve what you like. Welcome aboard and have fun. Don't let a few rocky waves swamp you.
