Can you believe it?? 
An 1878-CC Morgan Dollar. MS63 [PCGS] CAC offered in CRO's Early Bird today.
That coin and a 1926-S Peace Dollar were given to me by my grandparents when I was about 10 years old. I don't have the ones they gave me any more, but I've been looking for a nice example of each coin to add to my collection as a reminder of them and how they started me in this hobby.
No pics yet but I'm sure it's a great coin. Dave and John have never let me down.

So you don't think I should start a Morgan Dollar Registry Set?

Ugh...RYK, I'll need one of those pills now.
Boy, oh boy. Now you've done it!

Does it work for modern mint issues? If so, I'd help market it.

I'm surprised John and Dave even knew what a morgan was. Dave must have had a Red Book on him
Congrat's on spreading your wings......I think

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Hey, I'll have you know that as a kid I collected Morgan Dollars, and distinctly remember sorting through about 20 gemmy 1883-CC's at the Syracuse Stamp & Coin Bourse in 1973, all with Rainbow toning, picking the best one and buying it for $6. I'd have bought all of them, but I didn't have the $120 necessary to do so, and my father told me that there were hundreds of Morgans around and they would never be worth anything.
What was the question?
