New Purchase: 1878-S PCGS MS-64 (2-Sided Toned) Morgan Dollar -- Photos

Here's a new 1878-S PCGS MS-64 (2-Sided Toned) Morgan Dollar that I purchased today.

These are the orginal seller's photos. I think that it will look better in person than in these scanned images.

    Baj: This is a second one. Here is the thread link to the other one, and the photos of the first coin. I like two-sided toners, especially of the 1878-S, when they can be purchased with no market premium above GS for the toning.

    I'm purchasing them for my new Toner Collection that I am working on... I personally think that 2-Sided original looking Morgan Dollars are both attractive and undervalued in today's market.

    In practice, I have found that these usually look better in person than in the auction scanned or photo images provided, because toning is relatively difficult for the average eBay seller to photograph accurately.

    You will have to post new shots when you get it to see if you can get some color out of it. Has potential.

    BECOKA: Thanks for your post. I will take a few photos of this coin after I receive it to better depict the toning colors. image
