I voted for sign me up. Will I'm not the biggest fans of Morgans(love my shield nickels and counterfeits. I'm weird, leave me alone) I don't think we should flat out ban them. Maybe do a Morgan free zone?
It doesn't really matter to me, when it comes down to it I just like going to shows.
Why ban Morgan Dollars? Just because so many of them common is no reason to ban them. If you don't like them, don't bother the look at them!
But they, like lice, are epidemic. Someone must take a stand.
(except for stickered ones of course.)
Sounds like the old Chicago International Coin Fair!
They are banned (sort of) from EAC conventions.
Yes please! Add some variety.

I'm sure someone is being tongue-in-cheek here....But it's kind of a frivolous microcosm of the US today. "I can't be expected to just ignore what I don't like! We must ban and punish those who don't agree!!"
Years ago I went to more local shows. There would be cases filled with Morgan Dollars. I see them and say to myself, "That's boring," and move on. It didn't hurt me, so why ban them?
low grade morgans are ho hum, however some better grade morgan dollars are just super eye coins
If you were to ask me, "would you run a coin show that banned Morgan Dollars?" I would say, "no, I would allow them."
However, the OP asked "Would you a attend a coin show where Morgans were banned?" so my answer as a potential attendee, is "why not?" I'm interested Morgans but I'm also interested in many coins other than Morgans.
Yes, the DPLs can be appealing.
Don't collect them. Just ignore those cases. Many dealers would be out of business without them. But on a personal rant, ban the AT craze. It is out of control.
I think it's a weird question, LOL.... I have no interest in Morgans but I think coins are coins so I'd stand in solidarity with my boycotting fellow collectors.
Now a coin show with no darkside? SIGN ME UP!!!
This is sadly spot on.
I wouldn't go even if the organizers paid me to attend
I do the same thing. I do not think that is the intention of this post. It is simply asking that if they weren't there, would you still attend. While it may not be the intention of the OP, it seems to have ended up as a survey of who primarily collects Morgans and who does not.

I would barely notice. That said, it would make no sense to ban them or any other U.S. issue from a coin show. Coin shows need every attendee available. Banning a series would lead to further decline of coin shows.
I collect things other than Morgans so I would still go, but I wouldn't call these widgets:
I've posted several times, I once got 5 coins away from a complete set before I realized I couldn't stand them. Lol. I collected them because it was the thing to do and it was very difficult not to find something you needed, even at the smallest shows...at least until I got down to only needing 5.
I would go to a coin show that banned coins.
tongue in cheek, of course. personally I find row after row of white Morgans boring, but some of the toned ones, especially the peripheral ring toning, I find very attractive.
Definitely.
Mine will be in the back-up case
Smart businessman!
Well I believe they are offensive. Ok back to my safe space.
Now that is plainly discriminatory.....I like Morgans.... and Peace... and Ike's..... and gold... and commemoratives...and Mercs.... and Walkers....Hell, I just like coins....
Cheers, RickO
It is a silly premise. But I have not purchased a Morgan in years so having Morgans banned would not deter me. But would would the dealers do with all the hundreds of their empty cases?

It would be nice to see what other stashed away items dealers would have to put out!
So if we could take only one series to a coin show ... how many would there be, without the Morgan ? How many people....not series.

id go if there were no morgans there as well. it would be weird but just the same.
I think the dealers would complain if Captain Morgan was banned.

Silly question, but sure, why not.
I voted sure - not because I want Morgans banned. But I never look at them anyway. Plus that would leave lots of room for ther coins.
I enjoy looking at the Morgans. A show would not be the same without them.
Just today alone on eBay:
1300 Morgan auctions sold.
49 Bust half dollars auctions sold.
8 Bust quarters auctions sold.
10 Trade dollars auctions sold.
I got bored after looking those up and quit. You all get my point.
Banning morgans wouldn't help me unless there was also an increase in bust quarters
