yes plz

Dog97 · February 24, 2003 2:00PM

WHOAAAAAAA That looks like the eagle is coming in out of the sunset to spear me with an arrow. Man that has the most perfect even periph tone. I don't say things like this too much but that is one AMAZING coin! Beautiful!!

ANACONDA · February 24, 2003 2:04PM

I may be the finest reverse toned Morgan i've ever seen that wasn't in GSAguy's collection.

It is the kind of quality GSAguy has by the dozens. I kid you not.

He has one with an obverse like this AND a reverse like this, raw. I offered him $10,000 for the coin and HE LAUGHED AT ME!

Another Stunning coin Adrian. Thanks for sharing.

ANACONDA · February 24, 2003 2:08PM

My pleasure.

jbsteven · February 24, 2003 2:10PM

FrattLaw · February 24, 2003 2:11PM

C'mon that photo's gotta be enhanced a little,

if not that is one of the most spectacular coins I have ever layed me eyes upon. Wow! Wow! Wow!

My suspicions are that whoever ends up with the coin will be glad to render an opinion about how accurate the color and intensity is
when they give me feedback on the purchase, if i do in fact end up with the coin.

ANACONDA · February 24, 2003 2:15PM

I just noticed the word "collector" appeared under my "name". Hmmm....i'm sure that's gonna get me some criticism.

DrewU · February 24, 2003 2:39PM

Adrian,

That color is absolutely unreal, especially considering that the coin is a 98-O. Although it's not on the same level in terms of the rarity and beauty of your coin, here's a reverse toned 80-S that you might think is kinda cute.

ANACONDA · February 24, 2003 2:44PM

Andrew - that is absolutely stunning...breathtaking...!

Here's the other side of the 1898-O:

DrewU · February 24, 2003 2:53PM

I would be very surprised if there is another 98-O that even comes close to that coin in terms of eye-appeal (unless GSAGUY has one tucked away somewhere). That coin is phenomenal! Thanks for posting the great images.

Dog97 · February 24, 2003 4:26PM

That's almost a perfect obv!
Notice I didn't comment on the strike, marks and the usual vitals because on a Morg that looks like that I really don't care. That's a L of a coin!

Gemini · February 24, 2003 6:41PM

Nice Fire and Ice

Gilbert · February 24, 2003 8:26PM

That '98-O is too sweet; man the reverse is relatively unscathed (at least in the image). In a NGC holder, huh; shouldn't it have a star or planet or something?

nwcs · February 24, 2003 9:03PM

That's in an NGC 64? Is there something hidden on the pic? Sure is a beautiful coin. And so is that 1880-S!

agfox · February 24, 2003 9:17PM

Adrian, that's beautiful.

Gilbert I disagree. It doesn't deserve a star, it deserves a galaxy.

MadMonk · February 24, 2003 9:37PM

Adrian, That is a truly amazing coin. I just can't believe the stuff you pull out of your hat!

ArtR · February 24, 2003 9:42PM

Album toning at it's finest. What makes it more spectacular as already mentioned, it's a 98-O. Great Coin!!!!!

dwood · February 24, 2003 9:48PM

I'd be tempted to keep that one, especially if I thought it was the finest I'd ever seen that wasn't in GSAGUY's collection

LanLord · February 24, 2003 10:03PM

Based on yesterdays "1921 Peace dollar + Stephanie" post, I dare not miss a single Anaconda post anymore. But this one only had a really cool looking coin

Blade · February 24, 2003 10:26PM

Most beautiful Morgan I have ever seen. Period. End of story.

lablover · February 24, 2003 10:46PM

Really Beautiful...just wet myself. Are you going to provide a link so the rest of us can bid? Or, you just going to keep it for yourself? Your such a tease.

rkfish · February 24, 2003 10:49PM

Adrain,

Just STUNNING!

If GSAGUY's personal stash is better than this one
you had better sell it then.

Hard to imagine finding em nicer than this....truely a wonderful piece!

ANACONDA · February 24, 2003 10:55PM

Well, this morning it became mine along with 9 others. The others are also all cool. Quite a few monsters however this was the best of the twenty sides.

Dog97 · February 25, 2003 2:26AM

Allright!! Way to go snake!!!

coingame2000 · February 25, 2003 2:33AM

Baseball,

What a memory -- that was in fact my NGC MS64 1898-O $1, which sold for $880 a few months back. ANACONDA has purchased quite a few of my coins, a couple directly from me while many others were acquired through third parties.

Best Regards,

Mike De Falco

"My suspicions are that whoever ends up with the coin will be glad to render an opinion about how accurate the color and intensity is

I can attest to the fact that ANACONDA'S image is indeed accurate because the coin was mine to begin with and it was part of a small group of monster toned dollars I purchased at the Fall 2002 Santa Clara coin show. I just bought a couple more monsters from the same person and will be acquiring more very soon.

Best Regards,

Mike De Falco

Dog97 · February 25, 2003 2:57AM

MS64??? Why?

ANACONDA · February 25, 2003 2:58AM

Mike - thanks for vouching for my image. Man, how can you sell a coin like that? You have the discipline of a Seal (souper elite military group)

I too would have thought....."that Crane boy...he must have been around bondman when he
was contagious..." if i didn't make the images myself.

IrishMike · February 25, 2003 3:14AM

Mike, if you have any more like that, please feel free to PM me. That is a jaw dropper even for Snake's coins.

MAULUMALL · February 25, 2003 4:02AM

Mr Snake,
BRAVO AND THANKS.

coingame2000 · February 25, 2003 4:02AM

Adrian,

Glad to vouch for the image and let me take it a step further -- the reverse is even more vibrant and stunning than the image.

Mike
