Breaking my Morgan Set

Morgan Dollars have been a favorite of mine for over 20 years. I have collected and upgraded, trading and selling as I went. I was lucky enough to assemble a respectable set, placing to a high as #9 set, to holding #13 now for a few years. Missing the 1893 S, I couldn't bring myself to settle for a mid grade coin. All but 2 of my original set were Unc, the 1892 S and the 1895 O were AU58.

I found myself in the dilemma of the high cost of upgrading/completing this set. I was approached and asked if I would sell some keys, and the offers were quite fair. I sold my 1889 CC MS62PL, 1884 S MS61, and my 1892 S AU58. Even after selling those three keys, I was surprised to find I did not drop from the #13 spot.

I was called again this week, and I met with a buyer in Baltimore pre show. He bought 8 Morgans last night, and I know I will lose my spot. I had held the coins for over 10 years and was satisfied with my returns. Although I love the series, I found I really could not work it.

She's gonna love that vette.
