I promise this is the last one for this weekend... image I actually have owned this one for a few months now and finally got a chance to image it...
As far as I know it hasn`t been imaged before and I have never seen another 80/79-S with the amazing toning of this caliber...
The eye appeal is literally off the charts and one of those very special coins to come across... When I first saw it the amazing luster
just jumped off the surfaces at me... It`s a super bright stunning Morgan with a Rev. that is incredble as well with the frosty and unbelievable
mint bloom just exploding...
Hope you guys enjoy this one...

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    For some reason I think "movie" shot

    And the color on this heightens the relief

    Glad you guys enjoy the Morgan... And Thank You!
    Bunker that would be great one day! The very best to your family...
    TD was what I was thinking as well...

    MsMorrisine the colors do give it almost a 3D effect depending on what angle of lighting
    hits it... Not sure what you mean by "movie" shot... My original slab shot in the beginning of this thread is really not great quality as
    I take quick shots of all my stuff showing the entire front slab shot for my personal inventory and records... I do not spend much time with that shot...
    After that I try all sorts of different shots using my Cannon mounted in a copy stand with different lighting, angles, shutter speeds, etc.
    Here`s one with me just holding the coin.... It`s a Raw pic straight from the camera...
    I know the clarity is terrible from my movement but it actually shows the coins colors and luster the best and what the coin looks like in hand out of all the shots...

    That is the definition of "eye candy" for Morgan dollars.

    Awesome color and an overdate. Is the S the large open variety? Looks like it's tilted to the left.

    That coin is sweet and no need to apologize for posting a bunch of these!
  • AuroraBorealisAuroraBorealis Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭✭✭
    More thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed the pics...
    Morgansforever not certain... The S is definitely tilted to the left a bit but to be quit honest
    i`m not really up on all the different Vam`s.... But would like to learn if you have some tips...

    Fits right in with the rest of the herd.....Wayne, one day you should do a panoramic shot of them all together... I am sure it would be tough to do, but would make for an amazing display... Cheers, RickO

    "Sunbeam" is a perfect name for an amazingly beautiful Morgan. Any danger that this type of eye candy becomes addictive?

    I think my brain means movie close up.

    I guess the obverse is the coin's good side.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
  • AuroraBorealisAuroraBorealis Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks Mike...
    Rick that would be tough to do but is a great idea!!!!... Would have to have all sorts on lights... Could
    make up one big poster size collage of just the coins not in the slabs... Would be monumental work though....But cool!
    "anuda" I like that realone... image Thanks!
    OldIndian thank you! Addictive? it`s way past that point.... image
    MsMorrisine ah I gotcha now.... I do kinda like that side up... image But with that said the rev. is very cool and frosty...
    Thank you Mark! A big congrats btw! I am happy for you!
