I mean, I'm kinda out of US but don't have a PROOF Morgan.

Is this okay for a collector to be missing? :D

    Also, if you can REALLY afford it go for a branch mint proof :smile:

    you don't NEED any coin.

    Do you WANT a proof Morgan dollar?

    I have one, an 1884, but haven't looked at it in a few years.

    I'm the proud owner of a branch mint (San Francisco) proof Morgan reverse.

    The obverse, dated 2006, just shows an old building.

    Love the 1887. That's screaming for a gold sticker.

    Depends on what you collect. I'm a Barber Half Nut and many people ask me why I don't have any Proofs! While I like them I just have never had the bug to go after them!

    Find an 1894. More bang for the buck.

    With dmpls and rainbow toners available at a fraction of the cost, it would have to be a special coin to put out all that money.

    If I had one, it would have to have a one, an eight, a nine and a five on the front......

    Proof Morgans are beautiful coins.... I should add one to my Morgan ranks....since they are mostly CC and O, then it should be one of those right? :D Cheers, RickO

    O mint proof! I like it.
    But not unless it was matte also. ;)

    Proof Morgan Dollars especially with contrast are beautiful coins, I have one and am happy with it, but one is enough for me

    Proof Morgan Dollars are attractive when they have original surfaces and some cameo contrast. I would tend to look for one in the 1880s. The pieces from the early 1900s tend to lack contrast from what I have seen. One good thing for your search is that prices have come down from what they were some years ago.
