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.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    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.
