bobh Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 1888-P: Larger images here: http://hairgrove-goldberg.com/Gallery/albu...S_MS_64_obv.jpg http://hairgrove-goldberg.com/Gallery/albu...S_MS_64_rev.jpg -------------- (Edited on Nov. 22, 2009 ... just added this one to the collection. If it weren't for the heavy rim dings and the scratch on Liberty's cheek, this would probably grade AU with no problem ... however, it IS a problem coin, but as such cost me less than 1/2 what it would have otherwise:) 1888-S: Larger: http://hairgrove-goldberg.com/Gallery/albu..._1888_S_obv.jpg http://hairgrove-goldberg.com/Gallery/albu..._1888_S_rev.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannibal Hamlin died July 4, 1891 he was the first Republican Vice President serving under President Lincoln. Wrigley Company was founded. The Swiss Army Knife was invented.

Art Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Beautiful coins. One of the great things about Morgans is that they look better circulated than almost any other US coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've started going back on the dates and adding what was happening during those years. Made it up to 1883 so far may try a few more later today. Put some international history in but mainly U.S. stuff since this is about Morgans. And if I did it would be 2 to 3 times as long.
