Puccini Toned Morgan Heritage Auction

Did anyone win anything cool? It was an interesting auction IMO. I picked up a few coins and it seemed like prices were pretty strong across the board, but also with a few opportunities for those of us who follow this area closely.

I’m really excited to see this one in hand, super unusual for a 78-p to have this kind of color.

I bid on that coin. It looks beautiful and particularly for the date. I hope you’ll show a video when you get it!

I won two lots in the auction and was the underbidder on a 3rd. I gave a good run at 3 or 4 more. Just a fantastic assortment of beautiful toners and especially for better dates.

These are the two I won, the second of which brought less than it did 6 years ago.

Here is an old friend I always regretted parting with. Coming back home now. What a great toner auction. Love the coins posted above.

I did bookmark that group of dollars as I thought it could help in the future on toned dollars (a lot of different grades and toning quality). Mostly curiosity type stuff for me in trying to figure a value on some of them. I do know someone who was bidding and they said they won several.

@david3142 What an awesome 1902-S!! That has to be one of the best toned examples out there. Love the 1887 as well, great buy!!

I grabbed an ex-Hall coin too, an 1880-s with green toning that I thought would be a great addition to my 80-s collection. @Sonorandesertrat shared some documentation with me a few years ago on the Legend sale of the Sonnier Morgans via their website and I recognized this coin, so knowing it was ex-Sonnier sealed it for me😁

@BigSandy Love that 1921 too, amazing color for the date!! It’s such an awesome feeling when you get another shot at a coin you regretted selling.
