Nice toned coins!
Beautiful - would have a hard time picking out a favorite!
Holy hell those are nice! Where on earth do you keep finding these gems? I would love to see your entire collection in hand. It probably be even better with an altered state of mind
That is a hard decision on these but perhaps the mirrors on Scrunchie gives it a tad of an advantage... But then the awesome textile on Stars And Stripes... But then the mirrors on The Christmas Tree... But then the beautiful colors on Mother Nature, Chili Pepper, and the Rose... But then the 3D effect of the bowl luster in The Christmas Wreath... But then the amazing blasting luster of Zig Zag....
You know what you are right Lakesammman!
You are certainly at the pinnacle of your niche (that’s a compliment)
Latin American Collection
All of these are from a few years ago CommemKing picked up one at a time and over time from different sources... Some have history and others the first time I had ever seen them...
All are beautiful as always . Great names too.
If I had to sell just one of the group, I can't pick one, they're all outstanding!
After looking up and down the list many times I once narrowed it down to Scrunchie and Zig Zag. Then I looked at them again!
I'd love to see these in hand and even then doubt I could come up with one to sell.
In the past, I've downloaded some pics of your collection and remember the unbelievable Indian Head cents you have.
Thanks BIGAL and good eye!
Nice coins and images.
Were the coins star designated by NGC before you crossed them?
I'm not that much of a fan of textile toning so my favorite is easy to determine. The one you named "Mother Nature" is clean, banded and multicolored.
That's a winning combo in my opinion.
Great finds AB.
Yes all had stars and two were in prong holders....
Very nice and congrats!

With your preference you would also love Chili Pepper...
They are all beautiful but there is something about The Rose that I really love.
Such an awesome group of toners but Stars and Stripes gets my most attention though.
Fantastic toners and Morgan's aren't really my bag (pun intended) , but I think I could make an exception with these.
I've seen better.

Rainbow Stars
I've seen a few of these in hand and as good as the pictures are they do not do justice to these coins.

I'd probably need a change of clothes (most in the pants area) after seeing Christmas Tree in person. The 1882-S is my favorite MS date in the series since so many of them come with that 3-D "bowl" luster. Add killer toning to that and you have a sure winner! All are great coins for your collection.
I have yet to see the self-professed lab experts replicate this kind of toning that would convince us that it's not AT.

@AuroraBorealis...Your colorful Morgan collection is amazing and incredibly consistent... I am always amazed at the coins you find to add to your collection.... Even when I lived in the PNW and went to coin shows, I do not recall seeing Morgans comparable to yours. I imagine you would not need Christmas lights at your house, just put the coins out and they would give the glow to a room... Cheers, RickO
Now that's some eye candy. Beautiful coins, AB!
Agreed. I've been waiting almost 20 years for someone, anyone, to post those replicates, and still nothing but the sound of crickets. Proper elevation chromatics, color progression, textile patterns, pull away and blending of the colors? Nope. Not even close to the beautiful, natural pieces that AB posted above.
Spectacular group for sure.
Just lovely! Your names are also entertaining. The only one that I can't figure out is Mother Nature?
Cheers!
A big fan of your collection AB!
Thank you everyone for the feedback!
All amazing coins
I almost had a heart attack
And
Hit the floor
Looking at your Godzilla coins
I don't collect Morgans, but those are some beautiful toned coins!
Like zig a tad better than mother...Gorgeous.
