If you go back before 1878, the first year of Morgan dollars, you have to buy Seated Dollars and they are quite expensive. Twenty of them would cost far more than a double eagle. After 1878, go with the Morgans all the way.
Re: bringing back cards- most cards that were issued 100 or so years ago have been destroyed, so if you bring one of those back to the present you are saving it from destruction. But, to use another example, if you go back to 1888 and find a Four Base Hit of Kelly and bring it back to the present, and that example happens to be the one that ended up in Leon's collection, it can't be in two different places at the same time. So you would now own it and Leon's would disappear. He would go to his vault one day, find it gone, and would never know to his dying day what happened to it. Very spooky stuff.
