My favorite Morgan

Ripped this image off of a board member posting here about a year ago. Not sure who owns it. Album toning, with a bullseye obverse, but not quite as dramatic as this reverse. Looks like the eagle is flying out of a pool of lava. So... who owns this beauty?

Updated to add the obverse:

    Looks like a former ANACONDA coin. Don't know who owns it now.
    Stunning!
