The collection cointains 3 NEW Hot 50 examples. 10 examples of NEW TOP 100 coins, 13 examples of the SUPER CD collection and includes; 22 PLATE coins that were used to produce the book, "Elite Clashed Morgan Dollars".    HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE A Discovery Piece from EVERY YEAR except 1895. A Discovery Piece from EVERY mint Morgans were made. 22 Plate coins that were used to produce the book "Elite Clashed Morgan Dollars" 13 Super Clashed Die (CD) varieties 10 NEW TOP 100 varieties 3 NEW Hot 50 varieties   INDIVIDUAL HIGHLIGHTS The Discovery Piece 1878 P VAM 44A, The King of VAM's in a Terry Armstrong pedigree holder.  This coin was part of the late Terry Armstrongs collection.  The letter from Leroy and photos he provided show this to be the Discovery Piece.  It was not sent to ANACS to be reholdered as I did not want to lose the Terry Armstrong pedigree. 11 seperate Carson City Discovery Pieces.  Finding a new Carson City variety is nearly impossible let alone finding 11 of them.  Viewing the number of Discovery Pieces that have been found since Leroy Van Allen and George Mallis published their definitive work on Morgan Dollar varieties shows that Carson City discoveries are hard to come by.
