I was rendered speechless today by toning

Yes, it's true. Really. I'm not usually big on toning because much of the fad is just being able to say a coin is toned, regardless of attractiveness. But I saw something today at Long Beach that defies description, other than to say I thought I was having a flashback. GSAGUY had two Morgans with colors that completely covered the obverses, and reflected light like a sixties poster under a black light. Never seen anything like them before. Maybe somebody else who saw them today can describe them better.

Pretty much the ultimate. What more can you say.

I've learned to ask very specific questions if conducting sight unseen business. Return Postage is expensive!
Those two pieces do rank well up there in my collection, although as Louis pointed out, the group of 3 78-CC's is also pretty cute. And like Woody stated, when the toning is really beautiful, talk of grade, or even the date/mintmark often does not enter the conversation.
