I love AU Morgans

It doesn't make much sense dollar wise, they are (mostly) not rare or scarce and often overpriced based on their mintage and silver content.
Still... I probably have 40 of them over the years I've just picked up for the hellofit,
Just yesterday I found myself walking out the shop with these 3 - I don't need them but I sure do like them.
Feel free to post your own junk dollars.

    I like them. Love is a bit strong. :blush: I like them a lot and I like a lot of them.


    ...could this lead to love?

    Overall I'm not fond of AU Morgans, the scruffy fields that are almost always seen with the AU grade are not a look I favor.

    I like circulated Carson City minted dollars. It is the imagined history of a coin that was used in then-contemporary commerce that fascinates me. ...especially since I live on land once owned by a man who came to Virginia City in 1863....and whose son worked at the Carson City mint in the late '80s through about 1892. In fact, I recently purchased some Carson City "culls" at the Northern Nevada Coin shop in Carson City....nothing numismatically impressive, but personally appealing due to the historical context.

    I'll comment @ricko - looks fake.

    @jedm... You are correct sir!! Purchased it for a nominal fee out of a local antique shop... just to get it off the market. Cheers, RickO

    Just curious... did you let the vendor know it was fake?

    @lkenefic.... Yes, I showed him a Redbook... none even minted... Cheers, RickO

    Interesting... Only once have I ever spotted a fake at a table. It was actually at a gun show. The vendor had a pretty beat up "1877 IHC" priced at $800. It had the bold N reverse, so unless it was a circulated Proof it was likely counterfeited. I handed it back to the vendor and simply said "good luck with that".

    This one is now PCGS AU53 1B1 Thornhead. I called it 1B4A. I’m not sure which is right 1B1 or 1B4A 🤔
