Got a Morgan I was searching for a long time

The 1904-S has been on my list as one I wanted in MS, preferably MS63. A lot of these coins are ugly and I have passed on them. I found this one and liked the toning and originality of it. I'm glad I didn't get pushed to my max, I got the coin for $1925 with the juice and had bid quite a bit over that.

1904-S

    That's a very pleasant coin. Glad to hear it's found a good home.

    Yes, I really like them toned like this, tells you they haven't been messed with. Now I have one more MS coin to find for my set, the 96-S, then everything else will be circulated.

    Hey it looks to be a decent original piece. Congratulations. Good thing it's in the "right" holder too.

    I've seen these coins in other holders, and with this kind of money, I'm not risking it. I don't demand PCGS holders because I have been brainwashed, I demand them because I have seen semi-keys in other MS63 holders and just don't trust them.

    Anyhow, welcome me to both the poorhouse, and the doghouse when Sally finds out about this.

    I'd really like to see the K6 pics after it arrives home
  • BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,377 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I agree with ElectricEye....I can't wait to see your pics as I firmly believe the coin looks MUCH better in person and when a proper picture is taken.

    Good deal on getting a coin you want for a price you are willing (heh....and for being willing to suffer the wrath you already know you will incur)

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • K6AZK6AZ Posts: 9,295 ✭
    I'll post them as soon as I get the coin. That is, if Sally doesn't kill me first.
  • stmanstman Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭✭
    K6AZ.... does she slap you while yelling at you? Myself I don't mind being slapped.... but yelling at me at the same time, well that's kind of humiliating.

    No slapping. She just tells me I'm out of my mind, then doesn't fix me dinner for a few days. Last time this happened, when I bought that 85-CC crescent, I was a regular diner at Mickey D's for about three days.

    Ah man, you got it made then. Heck sometimes it's good to get away from the ball and chains cooking.image

    Yeah, but after you have blown a wad on an expensive coin, you can't afford the good menu. You wind up having to order the 99¢ double cheeseburgers.

    Hey Eric
    Even double cheeseburgers beat hot tongue and cold shoulder!!
