FUN Morgan ‘NFS’

SeattleSlammer · January 17, 2019 5:03AM

I’m always looking for dramatic one-sided DMPL’s. Especially those in old slabs. Near the end of Friday I happened to come across Dan Davis’ table (Staten Island Coin Investments). This coin was in his case with a ‘NFS’ sticker on it. I struck up a conversation with Dan and segued into, “so how about I make you an offer on that NFS Morgan?!”.... with real enthusiasm and a nostalgic tone Dan explained that this was the first slabbed coin he ever bought decades ago, and that he has faithfully carried it with him to shows always tagged NFS. He said he loved the impressive black and white contrast, old slab, humble grade, etc. I said I did too and would love to add it to my set of moose-cameo-one-siders. So I made him an offer I was hoping he couldn’t refuse.... With some wistfulness and more fun back and forth—and after he confirmed that I was just a collector and not a dealer—he very reluctantly let it go. I mean he was genuinely attached to this coin. Super nice guy.

Thanks Dan!

Quick bourse floor iPhone pic of obverse. Reverse is just PL (hence only a PL designation by NGC).

Very mean of you! I guess the old saying "everything has a price" rings true!

You silver tongued devil you. Actually nice way to approach a dealer, it really was for sale to the right person, you. Peace Roy

Congrats! I'd love to pick one up that looks like that, too!

Has that deep dish look on the obverse.

Sometimes the best way to sell something is to label it NFS.

That is a very beautiful Morgan and it seems to have found the right new home.

Plus it’s even ricko approved!

Don Davis?

Ive seen that in his case for years always loved the frosting on it.. Dan Davis is the type of guy who will pull something of out his suitcase that will shock you randomly!!

Nice one @BAJJERFAN ... exactly what I like.

@Broadstruck ... definitely Dan

@U1chicago .. lol ... I hear ya... NFS would be a clever way to generate some strong offers.

I have seen that coin dozens of times at the monthly parsippany show. As stated it always said NFS on it no matter how many times I tried to buy it.

Ironically, when I saw the title of this thread I immediately thought of Dan's coin and when I saw the picture thought the thread would be about the NFS idea.

wow! congrats on the purchase!
