An Old Friend has made it back home

I purchased this ANACS Morgan many years ago and after owning it for a couple sold it to a client. I sort of always wish I had not but his offer was much too good to pass on.
I recently saw it up on eBay (from a different person) and sniped it. I've never seen a Morgan quite like it, what with its smooth, lustrous pastel baby pink and blue toning blanketing the obverse. Nice strike too.
The first shot is what the coin looks like pretty much straight on while the second represents a slight angle so the light catches the luster and color a bit more.

This time my Morgan is home to stay.

    ANACS MS64. The reverse has a golden rim with a silver center (photo came out too dark).

    Lovely coin.

    Glad you got the second chance to own it.
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    Very Nice It's hard to get them back. But when they do come back you try to keep them around as long as you can. image

    I am pretty clear on what I sold it for and now, recently what I paid for it but don't recall what I originally purchased it at.
    Sold: $550.00
    Purchased: $199. (The opening bid.)

    Unless you originally purchased it for more than $350, you just got a coin for free. Nice!
