It is the rare collector that doesn't own a Morgan Dollar

    I currently do not own any, either.



    While I have no objections to the design, they're just... everywhere, and so they don't excite me terribly.



    (And I'm not even that enamored of most of the "monster toners". A nice DMPL with black-and-white contrast will turn my head occasionally, though.)



    I like 'em, but don't love 'em.



    I'm not especially thrilled by Roosevelt dimes, Franklin or Kennedy halves, Ikes or SBAs, either.

    1796-97 half dollar



    $4.00 gold Stella



    Pre-1834 gold coins







    TOO DARN EXPENSIVE!! I love these coins but they are way out of my budget range.

    Seriously, in over 40 years of collecting I've never once owned a Morgan Dollar.

    I managed to lose a GSA Carson City sometime in the 1980's.

    When I first started collecting coins Morgan dollars where some of my worst buys. I paid the most tuition in coins buying and ultimately selling my first Morgan purchases. Crash coarse on grading and how the business of coins works. The few I still own now represent when I started to get it right but the series reminds me of a painful stage if my collecting.

    In my opinion the Morgan Dollar in Proof Deep Cameo has to be one of the best looking coins out there. I have been collecting PL and DMPL Morgan's over the years but now my attention goes out to these low mintage black and white beauties.

    I also do not own any Morgans (for collecting purposes). I do buy circulated ones as bullion.



    I am a fan of the Peace Dollars (and the other designs of the 1920's and 1930's).

    I have quite a few of them. But, I really don't care for them as much I use to a long time ago.
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    I think I have a total of 3 Morgans.
    I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

    I have a Jar O' Silver Coins on my desk.

    It's nice to put a group in your hand to feel the heft.

    It makes you appreciate money and the people who worked for these.
