Absolutely NOT.
Depends on the bust that you’re talking about. Heh

This thread could turn out to be a bust.

No. Er, it is the Morgan Dollar Series in ever single guide/pub I have seen. Why would anyone include it with a series that ended in 1804?

Then why did you vote yes?
No why would it be?

YES to voting NO.
No more so than I think of it as being part of the Roosevelt dime series.

No. Why would you?
Because it has a bust of Liberty. Lol
Personally, I wouldn't do it. But it's the same as the argument being made for including the V nickel in the "Barber series". As I said on that thread, it's best to go with whatever the prevailing name is to avoid confusion.

It's defining feature is a BUST of Liberry...

AGREE!

But one can draw a distinction between the Barber series (dime, quarters, and halves) as they are colloquially known and Barber coinage .
You’re the only one that seriously said yes. I’ve never seen such near unanimous consensus here before. 🤣

There is no bust in there, just a low neckline, no crease between, LOL. The bust halves, Miss Liberty does have a bust, shows the crease, yikes. And the series are 74 years apart, yikes.
LOL
No, the Morgan dollar is part of the Morgan series of stuff with the same name.

Actually, I very facetiously said "yes".

Actually there is no "bust" visible on the bust of Eisenhower on the dollar, but it is still an Eisenhower bust. And, therefore, also a bust dollar!

And yet, the question on that poll was "Barber series" not "Barber coinage".
I'd also point out that it is far more common to refer to coins by their design element rather than the designer. You've got a handful of designer names attached to coins (Morgan dollars, Barber coins, Longacre cents) while the vast majority of coins are referred to by the design elements: Lincoln cents, Wheat cents, Memorial cents, Standing Liberty quarters, Bust halves, Draped bust, seated liberty, walking liberty, etc.)
For the record, I believe in just using whatever the standard nomenclature is to avoid confusion. Hence, my rejection of the no longer current "Barber nickel". But, the main point of this mocking thread is that it would be HIGHLY ACCURATE to refer to a Morgan dollar as a "Bust dollar", but good luck getting yourself understood if you do that.
When you are at the WFOM, go around and ask every table to see their "Barber coins" and let me know if anyone hands you a Liberty nickel to look at.

Totally
Umhmmmmmm…. 😂🤣
Pointless thread made just to be annoying
I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.
Bust dollars are not part of the Morgan series but both are part of our country's Dollar heritage. james
