    Nice, very nice. Looks very clean. The picture shows some luster. I bet it's a whole lot nicer in hand. image

    Thanks guys! The luster is all there. Here are a couple more pics that show it a little better (I hope)... The strike ain't bad either image

    I wouldn't be surprised to see a MS65 on her......

    Very beautiful coin!!!

    My sincere jealousy to you.

    Looks very nice! Looks like at least a strong 64 to me......

    Thanks eyoung. It is certainly a lock 64 with a very good shot at 65.

    Real clean Morgan. I think it has a shot at 65 also. What kind of camera are you using ? image

    That looks like the short leaf and a Top 100 VAM! A very nice example too.image

    techeff: That's a very pretty 1878 (Rev '79) Morgan Dollar (and nice pix also)!! She looks like a strong MS-64 (shot 65).

    Thanks for sharing her with us!! image

    Even nicer than you thought. Agree on the vam. VAM-203 "Short Leaf", the leaf leading to 'R' has been polished down. A top 100 coin. Premium about 50% more than common I think.

    Thats a nice Morgan and deserving of the MS65 grade IMO. Nice spotting on the VAM guys. Holy Schnikes I would hate to be in a Cherrypicking race with some of the crowd around here. They're tough!

    PR70, I'm looking forward to seeing some of your recent pick ups via your new Nikon.

    Greg, I hope all is well in Melbourne. I was hoping to get back there for Christmas to visit my family, but things didn't work out this year...
