A New Addition

Dear Journal:

As a collector of GSA Morgan Silver Dollars, it is rare to get the opportunity to acquire one graded MS67. I recently acquired such a coin for my non-Carson City set of GSA Morgan Silver Dollars. It is my first coin graded MS67 for this set.

As of this writing, there have been only seven coins graded MS67 for all dates in the population report for GSA Non-CC Morgan Silver Dollars. There are three coins for 1879-S, including this one and one graded MS67 star. There are also two coins for 1881-S and two coins for 1882-S graded MS67.

When presented the opportunity, it has been my experience that it is usually prudent to make the purchase, if the coin is reasonably priced for the grade. I have only regrets for a couple of Carson City 67?s that got away from me over the years. I did not want to regret letting this one get away.

So here is my one sixty-seven.
