Newp VERY Cool Couple Of Morgans

Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭✭✭
Here`s 2 newps that I need help naming... Getting hard to come up with cool names and would enjoy a forum member or 2 coming up with the names...
Keep in mind first one (80-S) has amazing blazing clear luster with a full PL reverse... Both sides entirely 100% UN-interrupted luster directly through the color... Very very difficult to find so pronounced...
Second one (84-O) has textile with crescent toning as well making it a very rare example to have both... Especially in that configuration with the crescent overlaying the color... Luster is nice for an 84-O but the hammered strike is not typical for an 84-O...
Both coins will be stand outs in my collection so I am looking for great names to fit both coins...
Thank you in advance for your help...

1884o Venus Eclipse
Textile-licious
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

The second one is a bit of a curiosity to me, though. How does a toner acquire both textile and crescent toning like that? If crescents come from being adjacent to another coin and textile comes from being adjacent to the bag, how can a coin be adjacent to *both*? Honest question, I'm trying to figure it out and maybe learn something here.
<< <i>AB, the first one is absolutely phenomenal. It has lots of everything you want in a Morgan toner. Spectacular.

Great question Vibr0nic... I was scratching my head as well and what we are figuring and may have happened was a fold in the mint bag covered the surface of the 84-O with the edge of an overlaying coin pressing into that overlaying fold or something very similar...Perhaps even the 84-O could have been against the outside of the bag and another bag with the edge of another coin in that bag pressing hard against the bag with the 84-O in it... Just a real wild guess but sure looks like that would be the only way that can occur... What makes it even more crazy is that the color although not as vivid south of the crescent still has nice correct and beautiful color... I own other examples that were lying very close to the mint bag seams and end up with very unusual textile and even the stitches showing toned into the surface... What ever caused it with the 3rd cycle type of toning took many years and looks 100% legit...
That 80-S is probably the brightest 80-S that I own... Thank you for that...
All the best

I don't have a name for the '80-S, but I'd call the '84-O "Re-entry", as it brings up images in my mind of the blazing heatshield of a Mercury/Gemini/Apollo capsule re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Killer piece.
Thanks Slammer... Great compliment!

I think you nailed it with the explanation. That (the pressure) would also explain why the textile is so incredibly pronounced. Superb coins!
Edited to add: I believe "Nova" (the cataclysmic nuclear explosion of a star) would be ideal for the 80s. Also, "Telstar" (one of the first telecommunication satellites from 1962? -even had a top instrumental song made about it) would be good for either. God, does anyone else remember Telstar, or am I really old?

He already did. I saved it as my desktop wallpaper.
