This has got to be the prettiest coin I ever bought on Ebay! I love this coin!!!!

hamiltonjh · March 28, 2004 12:47AM

nice coin!

I can't post one...i'm at work. None of mine are that colorful anyway, and my coin picture taking skills suck.

MrD · March 28, 2004 1:26AM

The picture you posted was just fine!

TONEDDOLLARS · March 28, 2004 1:59AM

Mr D you showing off again??????

MrD · March 28, 2004 2:09AM

No, Just excited at my new find!

TONEDDOLLARS · March 28, 2004 2:11AM

Stop finding things for yourself, and find me something

This 1898 Blue Rim-Toned Proof Morgan was purchased off of E-Bay and looks better in person than in the photo. The original purchaser was JBSteven who bought it off of E-Bay, and I purchased the coin from him... I hope that counts as OK for this thread...

MrD · March 28, 2004 2:37AM

More than ok!

Mr D,
That coin looks AT to me.....looks like the work of the infamous Onlyroosies.....also, might be AU58, I see a touch of rub...probably upgraded for the "questionable" color.......

It's probably a nice coin, but that image has been tweaked to kingdom come.

K6AZ, I've seen the coin (it was actually in my posession for about a month as a caretaker) and the image is pretty close to reality. It is an absolutely extraordinary coin that is in all truthfulness, even better than the picture. Toned proof's are very hard to photo - getting both colors and the mirrorsis down right tough!!!! At least I admit its something I can't do very well - not as good as Mr D.

I have no problem getting colors to show without playing with the gamma correction and color saturation. Look at those images side by side.

1883-CC PCGS MS64, looks better than most of my MS65s!

MrD · March 28, 2004 5:05AM

The coin is much more vivid and electric than the smaller photo

Nice coin MrD! What does the reverse look like? mike

oreville · March 28, 2004 5:52AM

MrD: I have a good feeling about this small baby that I just got on ebay!

MrD · March 28, 2004 5:52AM

Thank you very much

I once owned a 45-P that looked like that. Similar toning....

Nice proof Merc!

As to my "prettiest" coin off Ebay. Hell, I don't know. This was most "special" I think: A fairly rare date Half Eagle, 14-S.

I actually found this coin almost a year to the day after I missed out on it in a Heritage Bullet Sale..believe it or not.

Stunning, Jom. I havent bought anything off e-bay I feel safer buying from reputable dealer websites or in shops.

Stuart · March 29, 2004 9:58PM

This lightly toned semi-Prooflike 1883-S Morgan in an old "keyless" NGC holder is one of my favorites:

haletj · March 29, 2004 10:07PM

This is one of them. My 1919-s Lincoln is hands down the winner, but I have no picture of it.
