    Nice score, Stuart.image By the way...That coin looks very familiar. Sorta like the one I used in a 5 coin Morgan toner trade for a 80-CC 8/7 low with a fellow in Washington about 2 to 2-1/2 years ago.

    What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    Razor and RYK: Thanks for your posts and for your comments on my new 1878-S Two-Sided Toner Morgan Dollar.

    Myqqy: I wish that I was able to get this coin for only $15 image

    I obviously meant to say that I was able to use one of the $15 discount coupons towards the purchase price of this coin, which covered more than the P/H/I and the winning bid margin above the opening bid for the coin!! image

    As promised, I am updating this thread because today I received the subject 1878-S PCGS MS-64 two-sided toner.

    The coin looks much better in person than in the posted original auction photos. I had to carefully tlook at both the coin and the photos to be sure that it was the same coin!! (It is...)

    The toning appears much more even and not as mottled as in the photo, and the fingerprint in Miss Liberty's neck/jaw area is not visible as I examine the coin. The dominant color on the obverse is a sea-green bluish color with some red brown highlights. The brown peripheral rim-yoning on the reverse is surrounded in areas with attractive light blue toning.

    I am very pleased with her!! image

    Very nice score there Stuart. image

    So, do you attribute this continued string of nice hits to clean living?
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Norm: Thanks for your post and for your kind words about my recent Morgan Dollar acquisitions. I attribute this string of recent purchases to lots of persistent searching for coins with the kind of look that I prefer. image

    Definitely not clean living!! image
