This is indeed a jaw dropper. I want just one like that. (no you don't, yes you do, no you don't, yes you do) We both like it. I guess that you don't know about Grade and Price info?

redhott · January 16, 2003 1:49AM

looks au to me, see tons like that

jbsteven · January 16, 2003 1:52AM

HOLY GREAT COLORS BATMAN!

dragon · January 16, 2003 1:53AM

redhott,

You don't know what you're looking at, and no, you don't see tons like that.

No where else in nature does purple and green look so good together!
Nice coin, especially for a Binion hoard coin.

baccaruda · January 16, 2003 2:18AM

i've got a pocketful of those right now - i just spent a bunch in the pop machine. one of em's holding up the short end of my desk.

redhott · January 16, 2003 2:26AM

Wear above the ear has been toned over, without a doubt, and everyone knows Binion coins are crp.

jbsteven · January 16, 2003 2:31AM

there is no wear above thr ear, that would be a weakness in strike (barely)

RLinn · January 16, 2003 2:42AM

Purple, green and gold....Mardi Gras colors. I wonder if the Krewes will be throwing any of those this year?

Baley · January 16, 2003 3:13AM

"Wear above the ear has been toned over, without a doubt, and everyone knows Binion coins are crp."

redhott, Please refer again to my above post. You're making yourself look like a fool.

redhott just wants to know if we know an idiot when we see one.

benloe · January 16, 2003 4:01AM

This one raw or already NGC?

JNADAD · January 16, 2003 4:06AM

Adrian, In my opinion you have the nicest half dollar I ever saw (1811/10). I can't believe that you are selling a couple of those coins! I would never sell that half or the 1799 Dollar or the 1806 Quarter. Well I guess that is why I am not a dealer. Real nice stuff there bud.

Outhaul · January 16, 2003 4:08AM

PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL

The color is out of this world. The coin looks like a GEM as well. But I could care less if the coin is a Binion coin or not. The photo is also super!!!!

Outhaul · January 16, 2003 4:10AM

Baley...here's your linky-poo

Cheers,

Bob

<< <i>This one raw or already NGC? >>

It's got to be NGC. They're the only ones authorized to grade and holder these Binion Morgans.
That brings up an interesting question though, do you suppose PCGS would also label their insert "Binion Hoard" (or, whatever) on a cross-over?
Naw. I doubt it!

ANACONDA · January 16, 2003 4:51AM

Hey JNADAD - thanks for the compliment!

relayer · January 16, 2003 4:52AM

In the lobby of the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin, NV they have about 100 Binion NGC slabbed Morgans on display.

Most are pretty un-inpressive - lot's of MS63/64's.

They should tear out that display and just put this coin up.

The oven

Just kidding... that is simply an astounding piece... it looks like an oil painting- just amazing!!!

KlectorKid · January 16, 2003 5:48AM

I really like this coin it has semi-dark colors but still shows luster.

RotatedRainbows · January 16, 2003 7:07AM

Thats the MS66 that sold on Teletrade last year for about $600 after the buyers fee.

Teletrade Auction 1888 MS66

matteproof · January 16, 2003 8:06AM

This is a GREAT looking coin. What makes it great is the GREEN color. Truly green toning is RARE. NICE piece!

DCAMFranklin · January 16, 2003 8:28AM

Yaaaah, I guess that will do.

Just a magnificent coin, Adrian! I'm like a few of the others not caring for most of the Binion coins and find a good number of them overgraded. THAT one is a real beauty!

Donny · January 16, 2003 8:44AM

What is a "Binion" Coin?

MrKelso · January 16, 2003 9:51AM

I like the colors I wonder if peach juice caused this color combination. Binion did have a few hundred cases of canned peaches and juice leak out all over some of his hoard

jbsteven · January 16, 2003 10:03AM

I think you are referring to Redfield and his peach cans that leaked in his basement

Dog97 · January 16, 2003 10:24AM

Looks better than most of the Binions do. Pretty.
I think it's overrated as an AU it looks more VF the eagle's head is almost bald.

CoinResource · January 16, 2003 10:27AM

Wow, can't stop looking at the photo.... nice. -cr

eagle7 · January 16, 2003 10:27AM

Good thing this coin has not been sent to PCGS. It would come back in a body bag. This thing is AT all the way.

airplanenut · January 16, 2003 10:28AM

<< <i>What is a "Binion" Coin? >>

Teddy Binion owned the Las Vegas casino Binion's Horseshoe, which was the first casino to have no limit on any given bet... you bet it, the house will play you...

In the Nevada Desert, he had a secret and specially constructed valut containing thousands upon thousands of Morgan dollars. He was murdered in 2001 or 2002 and NGC was authorized to ecapsulate (and grade most of) the morgan dollars, which were sold with special NGC labels in NGC holders- many are considered overgraded, so some feel that Binion grades aren't the true grades...

That, in short, is what a Binion dollar is
