I recently bought my first rattler morgan - was really impressed by the price. (graded 83-o MS64) $60.49
I'd say you've done nicely on your first 2!

The bad news is that it SPOILS you for other series.
You say to yourself, "I can get dozens of differrent really nice Silver Dollars for under $50." Then you say to yourself, "let me pick up the MS half dollars from the same years. "
That's when the reality hits you that you aren't getting those Barber halves in mint state for under $50. Too bad.
That's why I say that Morgans spoil you -- makes you think all classics are going to be easy. I'm sure it's also why they are such a popular gateway drug...
Enjoy the high! It's a good one.

I started to collect Barber halves and realized very quickly that they are DAMN expensive. This is a very very true statement, and one that any new collector who starts with Morgans (like me) will realize!

Nice post NowhereMan....so true!!!
I enjoy looking for VAMs as well but my main focus is on the Barber Halves but the comments about $ are sure true. It's all good though.
Good job.

Good first picks
Nice!
I especially like those old "rattler" holders with cool coins inside.
Nice job.

Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of collecting. I read you are going to stay with Morgan Dollars for a while and that's great. I'd sure suggest you pick up a copy of the Morgan Dollar book that Q. David Bowers has out. It will give you a better feel for what to look for and what to avoid. <Not saying there's anything wrong with your picks so far, just making a suggestion>.
Best always,
Pete
