Day 9

Afternoon everyone……

Today will be my ninth installment of the “Stackers Twelve Days of Christmas”.

In case you are new to this or maybe want to join in on the festivities. Here is how it works….

Each day you post a gift that you would like to receive for Christmas. It needs to be precious metal related to qualify. The items can be something you’d like from our silvergoldstackers Secret Santa. Or they could also be something that you really truly wish was a possible gift.

So……

So on the ninth day of Christmas. I’d like to add a piece to my collection of Philadelphia Mint business strike Morgan Silver Dollar MS64 collection. I am missing only four coins from this entire series to complete it. Unfortunately the four coins are four of the sixth highest price coins of the entire series.

This coin is the cheapest of the four remaking coins that I still need. I have a few that are worth more than this one already. But I haven’t seen one that I’ve liked enough when I had the funds to buy it. So it’s been on my list for years now.

In coin collecting, pretty much every series has what is called key dates, and semi-key dates. These are the coins that are harder to acquire in the series, especially in higher grades. While an MS64 is a beautiful coin, it’s not high enough to make this series unattainable.

The coin on my wish list today is an 1892-P PCGS graded MS64 Philadelphia stike Morgan Silver Dollar.

There were just over a million of these produced. The exact number is 1,037,245. Per the PCGS & NGC websites, there are a combined 3,718 examples of these graded MS64 or higher. That isn’t a whole lot considering that the Morgan Silver Dollar is the most collected coin in the world.

This coin is considered a semi-key date. Its cost currently at auction sites is between $1,500-$2,000 in a mint state 64 grade.

Here is an example….
