Tone Lovers, What do you think of this one? Edited to show grade and explain a little!!!!

First I want to say thanks for all the input that you folks have given.
There really was no purpose of this thread other than to show this beautiful morgan that I probably will be buying. It is a pcgs proof 66.
I found out about it kind of late Fri evening so I need to wait until tuesday to get it shipped to me. With a couple of more questions of coarse.

The colors are described as pretty and vibrant. I can imagine what it looks like and it sure looks strong for the grade. When the seller shot me this image I started shaking and thought this looks like the one. I right away told him to put my name on it. I left morgans for a while and went to barbers. The seller knew I wanted that one nice original toned coin. He shot me this image just to take a look.

So I guess I'm trying to say my mind was pretty much made up real quick and really was not posting this to the board to help make up my mind. But if I was you folks can be a great help. I've never thought of paying this kind of money for a coin but have seen it coming little by little. As most of you have probably seen lately I like original tone and this sure looks to have it.

One more thing I thought of as I'm painfully awaiting to be able to receive this piece. I thought the house that my parents owned that I grew up in didn't cost too much more than this coin.

Thanks Stman

Really nice "rustic" looking coin....I like the color. I don't know enough about the toning on silver to tell you whether it's genuine or "baked-on" though. Looks genuine to me.

<< <i>Any thoughts? >>

None at all. When I stare at it my mind goes blank. Stman, you have some tremendous coins. My guess is it looks even better in person. Looks like a deep blue on the rev. WOW. I have to turn away now. I'm starting to salivate.

What's the grade on that?

Michael, Now how does superb compare to what you call a great coin. You know there are crappy ones good ones etc. etc.

Is that a Cameo under there? I think it should be dipped to find out. Who needs original coins anyway?

I'll bet Dog will take notice, this is his year.

How long did you have to bake it in your chimney to get it to turn that nice shade of blue ?

DROOL DROOL SLOBBER PANT PANT!!!!!!!!!
An outstanding wonderful Proof even if it does have a few white spots at the base of Liberty's neck and a slightly weak strike. That's my kind of tone, you can keep all the purple monsters. It looks like it might be CAM, I doubt if it would be DCam but it might.
