Possibly my finest toned Morgan (as of now)

I know not everyone is a toned coin fan, so this post is directed for the ones that do like them. This is an 1879-S textile toned Morgan dollar graded MS-66 and with a green bean. To me, this is the closest coin I have to a "monster". I've posted this coin on Instagram, which is also where I bought it. Hope y'all like it!

    When I was first collecting Morgans (A long while ago!) I would never have considered a coin like this. My preference was only White coins, usually not even a hint of toning.
    As time went by, I grew to appreciate certain degrees of toning.
    Now I am to the point I like these different toning patterns.
    Prices sure jumped as more collectors seemed to enjoy them also.

    That's a very nice Morgan that I would be proud to own B)

    Guessing it was among those from the Continental Bank hoard. Nice bag/textile toning.

    Bank bag toning. She must have spent quite a bit of time in storage in a vault. Nice one!

    beautiful coin - nice to know which is your best

  • tommy44tommy44 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Something about the 1879-S, lots of nice toned ones out there but yours takes the cake. I would be very happy if I owned one that nice. I especially like the extreme textile toning. I also have a modestly toned MS66 CAC 1879-S but mine is nowhere near as nice as yours.
