Ebay Purchases.... Haven't received them yet.

1878-S

1881-S (Crack on holder, not a scratch on coin)

Can't really tell much with the 81-S, but the 78-S looks like a beauty. Those are both old ANACS slabs, and I have found the grading of coins in those slabs to be right on.

I agree K6AZ...

Looks like you 're cracking out the 81-S.

anablep · January 6, 2005 8:08AM

Might have to ER...

You will be surprised at how pretty that 81-s turns out to be. Thats going to be one heck of a coin!

I'm hoping for that ddbird.

I know the "look" I'm going for and I think its got it!!

the "dark" bottom on reverse will be that purrdy blue I love so much!

I snagged this one the other day for $34:

I was able to get this one the other day for $25. It's a nice addition to my 1880 collection. Looks better than the pictures would indicate. VERY nice cartwheel lustre on it, and only a few nicks and dings on it. Very nice strike with a lot of detail on it. Coin is now stored in an Airtite holder, and since it's a real pain in the butt to get it out of the holder, I really can't get any better pictures of it.

Can we get a picture of the engraved wing on the 1878-S? Inquiring minds want to know (what VAM it is).

Nice coins!

I am glad someone bought that 78-S......I watched it a few times and it didn't sell. It look like a nice coin and the price was right, but it didn't have enough toning for me and the pictures weren't the best. I agree with the others that it should like nice in hand.

They are both nice looking Morgans. I have a feeling the 81 S will look much better in hand. I'd like to see an update when you get them.

Yeah K6AZ, I saw that 1882 dollar and was watching it... I was going to bid on it but had other plans and couldn't. When I saw who won the auction I was glad it was you who won it.

K6AZ · January 6, 2005 9:31AM

The pictures were taken under flourescent lighting (the blue tint) so it will be interesting to see what it looks like. I'll post pictures when I get it.
