    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    Les: I have finally hit 1000 unanswered emails (and currently no more can be sent) and i currently have 18 unanswered PMs. The problem is that i'm just really lazy, as i'm sure you know. Next time, call me at 972-671-5050.

    TBT - yes, Bob Campbell, ex president of the ANA just wrote a feature article on Rainbow Toned Dollars on the front of the Greysheet Monthly.

    Pretty good stuff.

    Incidentally, in the past 30 days i have sold two common date Morgans one in NGC MS 64 and one in PCGS MS 64DMPL for over $3,500 each. They have not been shipped yet and could be returned so i guess technically they're not sold. For whatever it's worth, i thought the comment was germane.

    World class toned pieces are truly unique works of art by nature, and the prices for coins like these have NOTHING to do with any price sheets or their untoned counterparts. New collectors often times cannot grasp this concept at first, but learn with time.

    I have owned several world class toned Morgans in my opinion, and every time just after buying it, I thought I was nuts and forever buried in the coin, but I soon found that there are MANY other people out there just as 'nuts' as me.

    It's also been my experience that more seasoned collectors and dealers usually appreciate the monster toned pieces the most and are willing to pay crazy money for them, whereas most newbies always seem to prefer white coins, JMO.

    I love gorgeous coins, perhaps as much as anyone.

    But, realistically, you can bury yourself just as badly, by overpaying for a moose (monster coin), as you can, a dog (pig of a coin).

    Still, if you have to be buried, better it be in a moose, than in a pig. That is the end of my tutorial in zoology.image

    I t hink a lot depends on the series of monster toned coin you buy & its collector base. While
    you'll always have a buyer for a Morgan that everyone agrees is a monster, I don't think so if
    you have a more obscure coin like an 1846 O Half Dime (think New Orleans minted them that
    year).

    Its so true.
    Adrian, do you remember the 81-s PCGS MS67 beauty toner you sold me a couple years ago? For the fun of it I'm going to let it go too around a month from now at face value start NR. I'm having to use my pic as I stupidly forgot to save yours with your photoes blowing mine away.

    What do you think of this current Greattoning 65PL Morgan and how high will it go?

    I agree with the thrust of the article with the added caveat that one should pay smart money for such coins. That may mean 20 or 30 times bluesheet or more for a common date Morgan in an uncommon state of preservation. So be it. I would not however get into a bidding war with someone else or against the house at a major auction. Bid smart money and then let it go. Be patient. Search the second and third tier venues for the truely original coins which are put forth in an improper venue. Great deals can be had if one is patient! image
