I just aquired this coin and it is the most spectacular toned Morgan I have ever seen. It is a 1879 S PCGS ms68. The colors are VIBRANT ELECTRIC RAINBOWS.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.

I respectfully disagree, I prefer the toning over the eagle, just my quirkiness I guess.

I don't think he was saying it's the best coin, just sharing.
JBsteven, as someone else said the other day, where's the beef? Since it's high grade how bout showing the obv?
Wonderful coin JB!!

Anaconda had a 68 with two rainbow crescents on the obverse for a while, but the color couldn't hold a candle to yours. I've never seen (until now) a 68 with full, rich color on one side.
Wow.

For some reason (maybe it's because Morgans have the strongest collector base & with the internet, when someone sees a nice coin, he / she's kind enough to share its image), I see FAR
more attractively toned Morgans than attractively toned coins of any other series.
The closest thing I have to that is a beautiful white 1884 CC in 6 with a crescent of cobalt blue
toning at around 1 to 2:00 on its reverse.

By the way, Jason.....that there is an exceedingly sweet coin you've got there. For sale? Yeah, just what i thought. No one wants to sell
their best. Well, at least i tried.

That is a stunning coin. I wonder why PCGS didn't mount it with the reverse on front?

What a wonderful coin! I really like the contrast of toning and blast white. It's incredible to see such pristine surfaces on such a large 100+ year old coin. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Here is a coin Dragon asked me to post. Very nice morgan

I see that the coin is now up for sale on ebay. I hope you get the $13,000.

Was this thread in reality a shameless plug?
Someone had mentioned to me that "plugging" is somewhat frequent in the forum. I didn't think so, but maybe I just haven't been paying attention.
Don't be offended. I'm not trying to play moderator. I was simply admiring your acquisition and then the "sale" stuff came up, reminded of that prior conversation, and then I realized that I WASN'T admiring a collector realizing a special coin, but, more likely a commercial. THAT doesn't take away from the coin's appeal, only my impression that you had accomplished something significant to you as a collector. Bummer.
And no, it is not my intention to try and out anybody regarding their posts. My "shameless plug" comment is said in jest, but, I am a bit disappointed you weren't buying it, showing it, keeping it as an addition to your own collection. But, I understand this is your business, and if I don't stop trying to apologize for each statement I make, I'll never end this post ...
Shameless plug...not in jest
WITH THE GALL TO TTT IT!
actually I am a collector that happens to sell some coins. This coin might stay with me for awhile because not many people can afford or collect this type of coin. Am I happy to own the coin? you bet I am. Am I happy to show a VERY rare high grade Morgan with others that might not have the chance to see such a coin? You bet.
