    Happy Saturday Coin Guys! How about an espresso shot, and a proof Morgan in 67+ cam?

    Yes, please! Awesome coin

    Inspired70, that Morgan sure is a treat to my eyes! Love it!

    Enjoyed my coffee this morning on the deck listening to the birds. No coins this morning…I let them sleep in today.

    Amazing! The coffee is drooling out of the corners of my mouth as I stare at her. Looks like a complete luster bomb!

    What a great pick-up in Chicago @pursuitofliberty! Love the original look and the die crack at 7 o'clock and left field. She's a keeper!

    Late August on a golden sunshine Saturday. The colors of fall are coming quickly and this coin from my collection reminds me of the multitude of beautiful colors that autumn brings along with the fact that the hot coffee tastes even better! MS66+ CAC

    Very nice colors!

    With my coffee this morning I’m enjoying my 37 proof Buffalo nickel. I won this one in an auction a while back. It’s an outstanding piece and I enjoy looking at it.
    Have a great day my coin brothers and sisters😊



    Your Buffs are always a treat! That one is simply outrageous!

  • Jzyskowski1Jzyskowski1 Posts: 6,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thats awesome. Coin related and a Morgan to boot.

    One of my favorite newps!

    I like that one a lot too. I remember it from when you first posted it in the new pickups thread. That toning is unforgettable. Haha

    Here’s my 64 that came in last week.

    Thanks for the nice comments! I really love the look and it took me like 30 seconds of consideration before buying it!

    Yours looks nice too! The reverses look similar!

  • Downtown1974Downtown1974 Posts: 6,798 ✭✭✭✭✭

    @Zoins thank you! The obverse is what sold me on this one. I like the fade from dark to amber.

    1803 Potosi 8 Reale.
    Holed, and well worn. Local dealer sold it to me for melt.
    I'd have paid triple that. There's just something about circulated colonial silver. The Spanish, and Mexico by extension, understood what silver should look and feel like in your hand.
    She's been soaking in acetone since late Friday afternoon to wash away some PVC residue. Got her out just a moment ago.

    I always keep my coffee mug next to my coffee put in the kitchen so I don't spill it on anything. Because unlike Liquid Clorox 2, spilling it and splattering it on the wrong things DOES matter!!

    During aviations's heyday in the 1920's and 1930's, Cleveland was a major industrial center, and the National Air Races were an opportunity for aircraft builders and pilots to show off the latest models. The races were held annually for many years in late August-early September.

    My favorite Saturday thread! Loaded up on espresso as usual, and how about two of my favorite psychedelic Barber's. These will get you off to a good start.

    I’m not sure if this is a recognized variety, but it is a doubled die reverse
