    Louis, didn't we go through this before and found a solution? I don't use cookies, active-x or java on my site so I don't know why a firewall would be blocking my pictures.

    Very nice band of colors! Do you have any concerns that they will get any darker with more age, or do you think the colors are stabilized? image

    Thanks for the nice comments. This is definitely going in the keeper box.

    And thanks to Morris, mnmcoin. He shipped it the day I paid for it.
  • A beauty Eric - and I bet it looks a helluva lot better in hand than it does on the pic! image

    Actually, the colors are a bit lighter. I was under the gun for time, and wanted to get this coin in the bank today so I only shot one picture. Once I sell the coins I have for sale now, I'll pull it back out and get a better image. As far as toned Morgans darkening, not likely to happen. The toning was caused by being in contact with the mint bag. Once the coin is removed from the effects of the bag, the toning process stops.

    Here is the auction with the seller's images:

    Beautiful dollar. I like how Liberty looks like she's going forward into the toning. Cool

    It always saddens me to hear about people having to visit the bank to see their coins.......try adding your coin collection to your home owners policy, it may cost more over the year than a safe deposit box, but it's worth it when you can actually have your beauties on hand.

    That is one heck of a coin Eric-Congrats on a nice keeper.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Nice colors. Great example of a well struck, S-mint coin.
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

  • Okay, I need to ask, am I the only one that see lines ( roller marks, scratched slab) running diagonally across miss libertys face??


    Nice coin Eric, I too like the colors and bid on the coin, even though it was a token bid. I knew my little chump-change bid would never winimage

    For a significant collection you would have to itemize it for your insurance carrier and I'm not sure that you would want their employees knowing what you have at home. Also if your coins are destroyed by fire they might be impossible to replace. If your collection is dynamic and changes when you upgrade that mite be a PITA too.
