COIN SHOP VISITS - MORGAN MANIA

cve3 (63) · 7 years ago (edited)

Many Morgan Silver Dollars were melted down in the early 1900s. Many in BU condition. The 1904-O had a mintage of 4.4 million, a lot, but many were melted. High mintage number, but rare after the melt. Few survived. I like Morgans. I look for Xf+ with feathers on Eagle's Breast & hairlines just above Liberty's ear. The silver used in 1921 Morgans, 16 years later, may have come from previously melted Morgans. Same with Peace Silver Dollars. Silver Peace Dollars with silver from melted Morgans.• SteemSilverGold •

@goldkey Did you check the Mint Mark on the 1900 O to make sure that you don't have a possible O/CC ?? .............

I didn't know to check; however, after further review. . . No double mint mark. I do always check the mintmark for "S". I am aware to check the whole coin for any peculiarities, like double die letters or dates. Unfortunately, I have only found proper mintmarks. I was pleasantly surprised recently by the New Orleans "O" mint mark. I was previously unaware of an "O" mintmark or New Orleans mint.

I have a few. Want more. As far as American coins go the Morgans and the Walking Liberties are the most beautiful. Awesome designs.

goldkey (73) · 7 years ago

Thanks, I agree about the Morgans and Walking Liberties. For nice designs, I also like the Mercury Dimes.

At the end of 2016 My mother bought me and my 2 siblings about 20 Morgans (neighbor was going to sell them to a jewelry store) and said to split them up when she died at the end of 2016. I told her to stop with her dying talk. She ended up dying a month later - complete surprise. So Morgan Dollars creep me out (as they sit in a desk drawer next to me).

goldkey (73) · 7 years ago

Thanks for sharing your story and memories. I hope some day you look at your Morgans and just have pleasant memories. Peace.

I could definitely use more of these. I'm embarrassed to say I only have a couple of Morgans. I don't know enough about them to buy the higher premium coins; I'd probably just ripped off. But I could buy some culls maybe ;-)

goldkey (73) · 7 years ago

As nice as these are, these are not considered higher premium. I think the highest price was $27, which is high. There are many that are hundreds of dollars, especially Carson City Morgans. Some day I'll get one of those.
