Default More clad = more Morgans!

Found this tiny pile of clad under some bleachers.And no,nobody was sitting in the bleachers at the time! When I get $20.00 worth of clad I buy an AU cond or better Morgan.

I got locked in their chain link fence because I wasnt paying attention to when the baseball team left and locked the gate. Ever see a 5'7" 185lb , 60 yr. old man hop a 6' chain link fence? It was a sight to behold!

Gary...good idea. Since picking up the md hobby, coins are starting to look a whole lot better...bought my first silver dollar online today, a 2008 Silver Eagle...Im hooked. Am looking at the U.S. Mint for silver proofs as a long term investment for my kids...

Hey Gary nice hunting! Climbing over that fence was no fun I bet.

Your Morgan idea is a good one. Good luck with it for sure, Beale.
