Finally taking the plunge and bought the 2 morgan dansco books. Already have 30+ spots filled 😅 a few tough years too, 1896-o,1891-o,1897-o, 1887-s.
This is going to be, and already is fun! Might do the date only dansco with toners next 🤔

That is going to be quite a plunge and accomplishment when it's done. Keep us posted. Best of luck and enjoy the project. 👍

Good Luck
In your quest!
The CC hunt will be the most challenging aspect.
I ❤ the
Morgan Dollars.
Are you chasing any VAMS too?

Best of luck! Enjoy your journey! 👍
When I did a Morgan Dansco, I knew I’d neither have the stamina nor the budget to do all the date and mint combinations, so I went with the simplified Dansco #7179 album: the one-per-year date set. (No need for pricey CC coins that way.)
And I attempted a matched collection of only circulated coins with a very specific look.
This look. The CircCam look.
I called it my “Greysilver Collection”.
It was fun, albeit just a sideline for me. I eventually sold the coins and album (less than complete), and moved on to other things. But I enjoyed it for a little while.
Nice! I’m doing similar to Lordmarcovan, just a Morgan date set. Only it’s mostly BU and in a large Wayte Raymond Album. I was able to fill 17 holes just by going through my raw coins I had just lying around.

Enjoy the hunt. Keep us updated.
I've got a date only book 7171 and the peace dollar book on the way... For the date only I'm considering doing a pl/dmpl and monster toners... Maybe. Either way won't be cheap so that one will probably take a good while!

Morgan dollars are an interesting set, for a variety of reasons. And fun to collect, since so many of them are quite common and easy to find/afford in high grades (to me, MS63 qualifies as "high grade"). But there also are a LOT of very expensive ones (though none that are particularly hard to find); particularly those minted from 1892 through 1895, and the Carson City examples from other years.
I have enjoyed collecting them a great deal; I hope you do, too.
Any updates?
@spyglassdesign has not logged on since January. I agree, an update would be nice. Hopefully, we can get an update on the next log in.
Nice bottle of coin dip there on the right! That's practically the only way to "safely dip" a Morgan dollar.
