1881-S Reverse of Morgan dollar
Here we are. You've arrived at this coin store website because you're a collector. We try to help collectors gain knowledge while collecting. Here's a bit of advice from this collector. There are a variety of collectors. Collectors trying to just put a set of a particular type of coin together regardless of coin condition. There are collectors that will spare no expense at trying to put a set of coins together that are in perfect or near perfect condition. Most of us fit somewhere in the middle. If you are the collector just getting started or filling a hole in your book, you should have a fairly easy time of it. If you're collecting above that level and seeking coins in a condition that really matters to you. Then save your money for those opportunities that come along to purchase that nice coin you want and will be happy with after the purchase. Buy the best coins you can get with the budget you have. I bought many coins getting started and have since sold off less quality in exchange for a better coin that made me happy to better my coin set. Your budget will never be big enough and your taste will change the more time you spend collecting. But always buy the very best conditioned coin you can afford.
