********would this one make your Box of 20?********

No. An 1880-S couldn't make it no matter how high the slab grade.

commoncents05

Nah. I'd sell it and buy something else to put in there instead.

I don't have a box of 20, but yeah sure, if I had a box I would want that specimen in there.

Whats the pop on that toner? Nice coin, common date, uncommon grade.

Not even a 69 DMPL?

SilverEagles92

Nah.

SeattleSlammer

If this one doesn't make your Box of 20, I'd certainly love to see the 20 that do make it. Anyone got some pics?

FatMan

Beautiful coin. I can see where that could make for a very nice centerpiece in a lot of collections.

Cgb

Personally, I would pass on it.

It is an amazing coin, but it just doesn't give me that thrill of a top 20 coin in my book.

STONE

I would love to have that coin.

Would it be in my box of 20, in a heartbeat, but not for long!!!

dwssws

make it a CC and yes it would!

coinkid855

That is the most beautiful Morgan I have ever seen. It would not only be in my box of 20, it would be the centerpiece for my collection. Gorgeous!

A very nice coin, Slammer. I don't subscribe to the idea of a box of 20, but that coin is a keeper!

Goldbully

.....lovely!!!

notwilight

nope.

NumisOxide

Sweet coin but no.

TexasNationals

That is the most beautiful Morgan I have ever seen. It would not only be in my box of 20, it would be the centerpiece for my collection. Gorgeous!

How can you say that without even seeing the reverse?? I don't care for it myself, so no way!

GoldenEyeNumismatics

Yes, I'd incorperate it.

kiyote

Without a doubt! I'd look at it every day over breakfast just to put a smile on my face. Great specimen!

fengk

Great coin, but no since I don't collect morgans.

TomB

That's quite an interesting coin given that it is in such a high state of preservation, is mildly toned and PL and also appears to have bag-derived textile toning while retaining some geometric shapes remniscent of endroll toning. I have one Morgan in my theoretical box-of-twenty and I know the 1880-S MS68PL is worth far more than my coin, but I would have to see it in-hand to determine if I liked it better than mine.

By the way, that is in no way a slam toward who might own the coin or who might have imaged the coin.

ArgentumRex

Sure, why not? I'd love to have a supergem Morgan as an example of the type. I'd still have to examine it in hand to see if it floats my boat, though.

jobiwan115

That would SOOOOO be in my (Morgan) box of 20(-something). Gorgeous!

CarlWohlforth

As my collection stands today yes it would. I'm a type guy so would want an attractive, well preserved, Morgan in my box.

fc

if i collected one of every series i would seriously consider it
as my example.

can i see the other side first tho ;-)

ElKevvo

I sure would include that or one like it! Nice Morgan...

Not a chance. I choose not to own even one Morgan Dollar.

Arizonadesertrat

No, but that coin is very beautiful and, outside of the 'box of 20' concept, a keeper. I have been thinking about working on a box of 20, and my view of this is that each coin should have a neat story to tell. I collect Morgan dollars, and would prefer to put an MS66 1883CC DMPL example in a box of 20 because of the important role of Carson City in 19th-century silver mining and Morgan dollar production. Many collectors focus on the 13-piece CC subset of Morgan dollars for the same reason. Coins in a box of 20 shouldn't be there just because they are in superb + grades and therefore expensive. I have an AU58 1874S Trade dollar with 4 obverse chop marks that will also go into my box of 20.

dizzyfoxx

I'm sure I could squeeze it in there somewhere.

PerryHall

Since I have no interest in Morgans, I would have to say no.

TwoSides2aCoin

It might make one box of 20. But not THE box of 20

SeattleSlammer

Thanks for the replies.
It's not my coin; image was taken from Anaconda archives....so I don't know who the lucky owner is at this point.
It certainly has a lot going for it. ....any PCGS 68PL Morgan is going to have to be nice, so the toning just makes it that much more special...if you like that sort of thing.

UtahCoin

Dip it!

MidLifeCrisis

No. Nice coin, but not my cup of tea.

And, if I did collect Morgans or US federal type, I'd want the representative example for my box of 20 to be a key date - one that is genuinely rare and in demand, even if it meant I'd have to settle for one in worse condition than MS68PL.

BlindedByEgo

I would definitely crack it out and put it in my 7070.

Barndog

not affordable for me, so no. As a gift, indeed it would replace my current Morgan in my type set!

Coxe

Nice piece. How PL is it really BTW? I might not put such a coin in a box of 20, but possibly in my PL Morgan set, especially if it an unrepresented VAM in the set for the date.

Tonedbuff

Wow... if everyone has a box of 20 that this coin is not worthy of... I'm out of my league!
I think it is a phenominal looking coin, and a valuable conditional rarity. You bet it would be in my top 20.

I to do not collect Morgans. Never liked them. Sorry, Morgan lovers.

asin

ChuckC

ILikeMercs
