While the obverse is plain, boring, and in a word-uninspiring, the reverse shows a bit more artistry. Not much more, but a little. Wouldn’t usually have purchased this issue, but need it for the series.
Carefully flatten those staples with a pair of pliers.
Nice original coin. I wonder how many times it was spent accidentally as a quarter.

Great looking 20c piece Goob, it appears quite original
Thank you! I think it may be cleaned but that’s alright, I’m just glad I own this amazing coin!

My last 2 purchases for my classic commemorative series. A couple of common, Booker T’s, which have slightly lower mintages.
Now realizing what a predicament I have gotten myself into from the first innocent purchase a few years ago, of having a nice type set coin. Forty coins later(only at 28.5%), of the total 144 issues needed to completion.
Will I see this set through to completion? Time will tell as I have also made this a bit more difficult, collecting specimens in the MS65-67 grades with minimal toning. Oh yeah the 2 Booker T’s:

She just arrived today. I paid up for it but man do I love a near perfect VF CC Morgan. Especially an 85, they weren't circulated that much.
Very nice CC dollar.
IMO nice, original circulated Morgan dollars, particularly the better dates, are a bit more more “interesting” than just another BU Morgan that sat in a bag in a bank vault since the day it was minted.
SLQs are another series that I prefer circulated. Something about a really nice XF+ SLQ.
Just my preference.

The start of my 1908 specimen set. The first coins struck in Canada as the boxes that they came in advertised. They tend to come dark, this is no exception, but it comes alive in the light. This is a 64, which is a pop 16 with only 1 higher (which is a 64+). PCGS and NGC aren't going to grade these 65 and above it seems, but I imagine ICCS would have this at 66.
