    Very Cool Morgan! The reverse is super clean and the obverse hits are covered in beautiful original colors, I say 64* with a green bean (if CAC does GSA softies)...either way, forgetaboutit...I love it image

    Thanks everyone.
    AB this is a moose as far as GSA dollars are concerned in my mind. Being a 78-cc does not hurt one bit either.

    Great looking coin. You are very lucky that a better picture wasn't used.

    Please pull these images out the next time someone starts a thread that says, "Wildly toned dollars didn't exist until a few years ago. People are making them all in their basements!".

    This coin should immediately end that argument. >>



    Agreed that the abolute way your quote is worded is not accurate, and as such is a straw man argument ("...did not exist.. making them all..)

    However, anyone who denies that some (most) toned Morgans have been of more recent and intentional manufacture is probably being unrealistic, IMO.

    Nice coin Toneddollars.

    Very pleasing colors, and an illustration of the lack of overly bright electric blue, neon pink, and bright amber over freshly dipped surfaces, that characterize the most popular of the methods

    Awesome toning on a scarce soft pack issue. Glad you aren't cutting it out as the value would drop sharply.

    Telephoto and Mitchel 1 thanks, I've been chasing this coin for awhile. It was one of Bryan Sonniers coins that somehow got away from me

    Look again, because I see electric blue and neon pink right through Liberty's hair and cap. And did you even see the rest of the GSAs in the LM auction? Because collectively they wreck the notion that brilliant color is strictly a result of some recent undocumented mysterious phantom AT process that no one has ever substantiated with actual evidence. By all means, point me to some REAL evidence. I welcome the education.
    I like large size currency and silver dollars.

    The eye sees what the eye wants to see. I have plenty of GSA's in my collection that have neon like colors on them.
    Now granted, they are few and far between, but I have them none the less. As with all things in life, 30% agree
    with you and 30% disagree and 40% just don't give a hoot. Seems this applies to toning just like all other things.

    If you have seen enough Morgan dollars over the years, you've most likely seen a few of them with wildly toned colors. My only comment is that it seems they are far more prevalent than they were twenty or thirty years ago.

    They agreed and are doing something about it. It should please you. MJ


    LEGEND MORPHY AUCTIONS-IS NOW LEGEND RARE COIN AUCTIONS

    Legend Numismatics had taken over control of the operations about a month ago. We were not happy with the status quo. Everything from the software (we're fixing little bugs that popped up during the sale) to the imaging is being substantially upgraded and will be of the highest quality seen in the coin business. We thank our friends at Morphys for helping us successfully start this venture.

    We promise Legend Rare Coin Auctions will remain a powerful boutique you can totally trust. There is no other auction house in the business where the principles have owned or sold privately more classic rarites and have exclusively built the most #1 collections. Customers of Legend Auctions have access to our world class experts-for free! We never charge any representation fees when buying from our sales and you get the same honest advice we'd give as if you were buying elsewhere.

    We are currently working on numerous projects currently to make your experience with Legend Rare Coin Auctions smooth and even more enjoyable. Please bare with us as these changes will take some time implement. No suggestions go unheard.
