New Purchase: Purple, Red & Green Vividly Toned 1881-S NGC MS-65 Morgan Dollar

StuartStuart Posts: 9,762 ✭✭✭✭✭
Here is a very beautiful Purple, Red & Green Vividly Toned Obverse 1881-S NGC MS-65 Morgan Dollar, with lots of underlying Semi-Prooflike luster blazing through the colorful toning when the coin is rotated in the light.

The colors are even more vivid in person than in these photos. This one was a bit challenging for me to accurately photograph...

I purchased this pretty lady during today's Bellaire Coin Show in Houston along with a few other interesting coins that I will share with you later. image

What's not to like about this beauty!! image

    Very nice lustre coming through that rainbow of color.

    Also has a nice strike as 81 S Morgan's are famous for.

    Hey Stuart,
    On this one I can see color (nice color too) and I can still see the surfaces, with that luster glow---image
    Keep buying puppies like this one Stuart.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Pretty toned Morgans (and other coins) are alot easier to buy in person at a coin show, when you can examine them in hand, than they are through risk-taking bids at auction from photos. image

    I can see that this one gets a couple of thumbs up from my fellow forum friends. image

  • Very attractive coin. I hope it doesn't darken further on you.
    What do you think, Mr. Bigglesworth?
