As do I, but more in the $250 range.
<< <i>Appears to be a scan and Morgans are tough to image well in the white NGC holder. >>
No idea what that coin would look like in hand but doubt t looks like that.
I have never had a problem imaging a morgan in a white NGC holder.

Perhaps not with a camera but it is tricky with a scanner. PCGS slabs work much better, in my experience anyway.
I can tell that that is a premium coin, but in the $250 range not for five or 6 hundred bucks.

Why he sure is!

Agreed. Something is VERY suspicious about that image.

<< <i>that is the diffused light "lampshade" effect popularized by MadMarty a number of years ago. it is very deceptive when coupled with juiced white balance but you would need to be severely "juiced" to be fooled by it. >>
Oh Keets!!! At least I'm not forgotten!! The "Lampshade" came from the "white salad bowl" even a "photo tent". All it does is keeps the direct light from the coin. Now juicing it afterwards... ick!!

MADMARTY...WHOA N YAYY
did the chicken put you up to replying?
That 1880-S I pictured above in both NGC 66* and the Capital holder is one of the heaviest cameoed and deepest mirrored obverses I've ever seen on a business strike Morgan outside of numerous common date CC dollars.
