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.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Thanks for the advice! (Really interesting thought as well)

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.

Careful, Goob. They’re addicting 😉
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Found for $8 in a used bookstore yesterday. Looking forward to reading.

That is a slick purchase.

P/C 55 Nice and crusty
