    Are you cracking them out to put them in the Dansco?

    That will look nice! Very nice coin.

    To be honest, the crescent on your coin is too dark for my taste. You might consider crescent toned Morgan’s with colorful toning. IMO, you will fair much better with color if you ever choose to sell. Again, just my opinion.

    I have colorful ones also... I do not plan to sell them... let the estate take care of them

    Would be a fun collection and look great when completed! Ill keep mine in holders though!

    Post pictures as your collection grows. Those crescents come in all different colors and sizes. Would look nice to see all the different crescents together. Good luck.

    Are you prepared for the cost of the 1893, 1894, and 1895 dates? If you are trying to get all crescent MS coins those will be very hard to come by. Also, you might not want to crack them if you do find them!

    I started out my Morgan set in Dansco albums. They are big beautiful coins and it’s fun to hold and look at a book full of them. I probably filled 30-35 holes before moving to slabs, though. Good luck and enjoy the hunt!

    Interesting concept. Good luck.

    Cool idea! Still working on my crescent toned Morgan coin clock too.

    I'd also advise that unless Dansco has changed their album composition, your dollars
    may resume toning.
    You may want to consider an inert album, like the Eagle series, if you want to keep them looking as-is.
