    I am extremely happy to see pictures of these coins slowly being released by quality photographers.........I have heard so many rumors over the years but never got to see any of the coins in his collection. Now with the one's you've imaged....the couple that Mark Feld recently sold and then the new one Lloyd just posted.....the curtain is being lifted and the coins are everything I was told they were.

    Mind you I have no dilusions that this will in anyway quiet the numerous naysayers on these forums who prefer white coins or prefer to not pay premiums for premium toned coins....but the coins are exceptional to the trained eye image

    I bought a group of 5 Sonnier coins.. Lots of Blues and purples.
    I don't have pics yet,but they are pretty fabulous.
    I will enjoy them for a while,and probably sell 4.

    Did you buy one of the groups of 5? If so, which one? I know Laura was partial to the set that displayed 2 obverses and 3 reverses. The 5 set obverse with the Christmas colors (reds and greens) contained several monsters. Amazing colors sitting on amazing luster and clean surfaces.

    I bought the set of 5 that are all obverse colored mostly greens,gold,and purple.

    I liked these better than the other group of 5 that I saw that were 100% green toned on the obverses.

    I bought about 30 of them. They are amazing. And yes, at some point in the near future I will be selling some of them.

    As nice as the coins imaged in this thread appear, they are not even remotely close to the best Morgan toners in the Sonnier Collection.

    I agree with that. In my head I wanted to go get more but got to busy to ask. I think more images will be loaded Sunday night by Legend for all to see.

    It's a cute coin indeed, but the set labeled "batteries not needed" is really cute. And they were all ebay purchases.image

    That in itself is incredible...

    Were your coins at the TCCC table a few years back at FUN? I'm not a big Morgan fanatic, but the ones there were very memorable.

    Probably Ron Sirnas coins...though I have had some in the TCCS cases years back as well so it could have been any of the members with Rons coins taking up probably 80% of the case image

    My 1904-O silver dollar is very jealous.

    If the untoned area had been further forward Liberty could have been "crying" as well.

    I do apologize that the Rolls was in the shop, but it must be noted that Mr Longacre blessed said vehicle with a sticker. In fact, while it was a proletariat chariot supplied by the Man that I am employed for the mere fact that it was stickered by Longacre himself caused it to find a retail buyer off of our humble lot the very next day.
