The Rustic Morgans

关于此套币: I started this set because I've always loved the beauty and history of the Morgan dollar. The date set tells a story, from the beautiful early coins of the San Francisco mint, to the late bonanza days of Carson City, it's fun to see the ways the different mints made the coins through the years. I started the set with no particular goal, but as I built, I started to define the goal of a MS65 weighted average. It's been challenging and rewarding to build the set with such a difficult, yet attainable goal in mind.

My wife and I have had fun playing off the strike designators of other series by creating our own for the Morgans - "FEHL" for the full ear hair line. Most of the coins in the set have what we determined to be above average strike for the year and mint. It adds an interesting layer to the pursuit of nice coins to find ones with fully struck hair above the ear, and especially with fully struck toes on the eagle. Strike was priority #1 in choosing coins for this set, attractive color was a close second. I hope you enjoy this set!
