A medal, but it's very B&W.

braddick,

that 79-S MS65* looks like it has a 67 or 68 cheek on it......nice! Why the 65? Would they rather give a 65* instead of a 66 or higher?

This one is soooooo black and white it's crazy and the frost is off the charts.....

this pic was taken from a really bad angle in crappy light and you can still see the contrast and the frost.....a monster DMPL obverse and just an average PL reverse, hence the PL grade.

OK, here's my Black and White "gold" coin:

Braddick & Kyle nap--those frosty white Morgans of yours gave me a twinge of nostalgia. Morgans were the first coins to really attract me to the hobby, and the first coins I tried to collect in any serious way.

Those are beautiful. It almost makes me want to go out and buy one again. Just for old times sake.

It's PL, but the reverse is weaker, this the " * " designator. (I believe the reeding mark on the neck does and should keep this one from a higher grade.)
I like the appeal of these pure white beauties with GEM surfaces. I also like the "Black Beauties with luster. They're getting tougher to locate.
