    Love this coin's unique toning pattern, emerald green color, and amazing technical quality. Certainly one of a kind, even in your collection.

    Liked big time!! As previously mentioned, what an awesome gift. What are the dimensions and materials used? It looks like a decent sized clock.

    I must say you're handling this well. I'd be mighty annoyed if someone drilled a hole through one of my coins and made it into a clock! :o:*

    Saw the thread title and was reminded of another Morgan Dollar "clock" I once saw at ANACS...a complete "clock" of off-center Morgans in the 12 different off-center positions in a Capital Plastic holder! Totally amazing!

    Wow!!!! that was my first thought when I read the thread title, but didn't know if it was possible, Thanks Tom.

  • CascadeChrisCascadeChris Posts: 2,529 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Isn't someone here doing a virtual clock display too of Morgan crecent toners with the crecents facing the numerals

    I wonder if it is still intact! THat was, after all, over 30 years ago. I would hate to have to put together a second one!

    Ok wow! I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. It's to cool!

    I like the clocks that are like a capitol holder with coins in them, because I like coins and I like clocks.

    That's like 100 levels above that!

  • ArtRArtR Posts: 474 ✭✭✭

    AuroraBorealis, That is one neat clock. Great Coin.

    If It doesn't have great eye appeal, I don't want it.
  • boyernumismaticsboyernumismatics Posts: 473 ✭✭✭✭

    I've seen a clock made of off-centered silver Washington quarters at a small show here in the South. It's was rather unique and carried a hefty price tag!

    @ElmerFusterpuck ...Great clock...be sure to post your progress as it 'matures'....Cheers, RickO

  • TONEDDOLLARSTONEDDOLLARS Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭✭

    One of the really nice thing about the crescent toning clock to me, is the same colors in the coins, nice job

  • TONEDDOLLARSTONEDDOLLARS Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭✭

    I have several that you could use. Mine more resemble your twelve o'clock


  • ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,796 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice to see this thread come back to life! I haven't added any new ones, and got blown out on a nice 9:00 toner a few weeks ago.

    @TONEDDOLLARS - your 1885 would fill the 11:00 position very nicely!
